RISK PREDICTION OF TISSUE INFARCTION

摘要

The present invention relates to a method for generating a risk map indicating predicted voxel-by-voxel probability of tissue infarction for a set of voxels, the method comprising the steps of, receiving for each voxel a first value (x) corresponding to a set of tissue marker values and generating the risk map, using a statistical model based on data from a group of subjects, and a stochastic variable, wherein the statistical model also comprises a second value (zi), being based on the stochastic variable, such as the second value modelling non-measured values. The invention may be seen as advantageous since it acknowledges subject variability in probability of tissue infarction on a voxel-by-voxel basis by taking non-measured values into account, which in turn may enable providing more reliable estimates of probability of infarction.

1. A method for generating a risk map indicating predicted voxel-by-voxel probability of tissue infarction for a set of voxels, the method comprising,
receiving for each voxel a first value (x), where each first value (x) corresponds to a set of tissue marker values being representative of a quantity, which is representative of the corresponding voxel, and generating the risk map, wherein the risk map is generated using a statistical model based on data, from a group of subjects, and a stochastic variable, and wherein the statistical model receives as input for each voxel the first value (x), and wherein the statistical model further receives as input a second value (zi), being based on the stochastic variable, and which statistical model outputs the risk map.
