The system () comprises a unit () for providing images of the region of interest corresponding to different states of the region of interest, a unit () for elastically registering the images to each other resulting in an elastic registration output, a unit () for determining a specific tissue region in an image, a unit () for determining a specific elastic registration output for the specific tissue region based on the determined elastic registration output, and a unit () for determining an elastic indicator for the specific tissue type based on the specific elastic registration output. Thus, a state of a disease that influences the elastic properties of the specific tissue type can be determined very accurately.
