Abstract
Disclosed is a computer-implemented method of determining a correspondence between a region of interest as it appears in a first digital medical patient image and as it appears in a second digital medical image. The correspondence is determined by calculating the ratio of overlap of the region of interest with a data object defining an anatomical body part in the first image and the second image and determining whether the larger of the two ratios exceeds a threshold. If the threshold is exceeded, the method assumes that the appearances in the two images describe the same region of interest.
