Abstract
A method for assessing a treatment in a trial includes obtaining images generated from image data acquired at different times during a trial time period for a same region of interest of a subject. The treatment is administered to the subject for the trial. The method further includes co-registering the images and mapping the co-registered images to a reference image representing the region of interest. The method further includes generating a trial image of the region of interest showing at least one of structural or functional physiological changes that occurred during the trial time period based on the mapped co-registered images, and displaying the trial image.
