Abstract
A method of quantifying changes in a visceral organ comprises acquiring first () and second () medical scans of a visceral organ at first and second timepoints. At least part of the visceral organ in the first medical scan is parcellated into a first set of one or more subregions (), based on image content, each subregion comprising a plurality of voxels. The first medical scan () is aligned to the second medical scan (), before or after parcellating the first medical scan (). Then the second medical scan is parcellated into a second set of one or more subregions. A metric is evaluated for a subregion in the first medical scan (), and for the corresponding subregion in the second medical scan (). A difference in the metric values provides a measure of a change that has occurred in the subregion, between the first and second timepoints.
