Color map design method for assessment of the deviation from established normal population statistics and its application to quantitative medical images

摘要

Systems and methods for providing color maps for use in medical imaging are described for assessment of the deviation from established normal population statistics and application to quantitative medical imaging. Statistical descriptors are used to determine the color lookup table to be applied to the medical image in order to create a meaningful color map, in particular dedicated to assess the extent of deviation from the normal range.
