Abstract
A systemfor processing medical images, the system being arranged for obtaining a first medical imageand a second medical image, the first medical image and the second medical image being rigidly registered medical images of an anatomical structure, and the system comprising a displacement estimatorfor establishing displacement vectorsfor at least a first portion of the first medical image, the displacement vectors matching the first portion of the first medical image to a second portion of the second medical image, a deformation estimatorfor, in dependence on the displacement vectors, establishing deformation valuesfor the first portion, the deformation values representing a deformation of the first portion with respect to the second portion, and a visualization generatorfor generating visualization datafor, when being displayed on a display, establishing a multi-dimensional graphcomprising magnitudes of the displacement vectors as first variablesand the deformation values as second variables
