Abstract
A patient image record and a reference image record are read for capturing anatomical features of a patient on the basis of medical image records is provided. Joints are localized in the patient image record and in the reference image record by means of a pattern recognition method. At the localized joints, the patient image record is segmented into patient image segments and the reference image record is segmented into reference image segments. According to the invention, a segment-individual image deformation is established for a respective reference image segment or patient image segment, by means of which image deformation image structures of the reference image segment are mapped to corresponding image structures of the patient image segment). Then, an anatomical feature is captured on the basis of the segment-individual maps between the reference image segments) and the patient image segments.
