Abstract
A system and a method for measuring a maturation stage of a biological organ are based on quantitative MR maps for the organ. The method includes acquiring with a first interface and for a subject, a quantitative MR map for the organ. The quantitative MR map includes voxels each characterized by a quantitative value. The quantitative value of each voxel represents a measurement of a physical or physiological property of a tissue of the biological organ for the voxel. The method also includes applying to the quantitative map a trained function to estimate the subject organ maturation stage, and the trained function outputting an age. The method provides with a second interface the maturation stage of the organ of the subject as being the output age.
