Abstract (en)
[origin: WO03025837A1] In a solid tumor or other cancerous tissue in a human or animal patient, specific objects or conditions serve as indicators, or biomarkers, of cancer and its progress. In a three-dimensional image of the region of interest (Fig .1 element 102), the biomarkers are identified and quantified (Fig. elements 104). Multiple three-dimensional images can be taken over time, in which the biomarkers can be tracked over time (Fig. element 108). Statistical segmentation techniques are used to identify the biomarker in a first image to carry the identification over to the remaining images.
