Abstract
A computer-implemented method for comparing follow-up medical findings includes receiving image data showing a body part of a patient at a first time and retrieving, from a database, reference data associated to the image data. The reference data includes reference biometric data and one or more reference medical findings. Thereby the reference biometric data and the one or more reference medical findings have been extracted from reference image data depicting the body part of the patient at a second time, different than the first time. The method further includes processing the received image data to extract, from the image data, biometric data corresponding to the reference biometric data and one or more medical findings; performing a registration of the extracted biometric data with the reference biometric data; and comparing the extracted medical findings with the reference medical findings using the registration.
