Abstract
A method, medical imaging workstation () and a hybrid medical imaging scanner () are provided for the analysis of images obtained during medical scans. The extent of a first region of interest (ROI-) in a first scan image () is defined. A second region (ROI-), in a second scan image (), is identified. The second region (ROI-) in the second scan image () corresponds to the first region of interest (ROI-) in the first scan image. Each of the spatial locations of the second region (ROI-) is classified, in order to identify the spatial locations of the second region (ROI-) that comprise at least one tissue type. The invention may improve the recognition of lesions in medical scan images, and may reduce the incidence of false positives.
