Methods and Apparatus for Quantifying Inflammation

摘要

A computer-implemented method and apparatus for quantifying inflammation in tissue or anatomy. The method includes analysing Dynamic Contrast Enhanced MRI data. The analysis comprises determining a value quantifying inflammation in the tissue. The value is a continuous score value and small changes in the inflammation result in a change in the determined value.
