ABSTRACT:
In a method for evaluation of two images of an organ system acquired at different points in time to establish a pathological variation, the organ system exhibits a first region and a second region that are present in and that are differentiated in each of the images, with the second region of the pathological variation being acquired more strongly than the first region. A registration is determined that causes the respective first region in two images to be in registration with each other. Imaging system-dependent differences, in particular deformations, are determined and compensated between the two images. After an extension of the registration such that the second region is encompassed as well by the extended registration, via a transformation one of the two images to the other can be made, presented and/or stored that includes the second region, using the extended registration. A medical imaging system with a computer can implement the method.
