ABSTRACT:
A medical image is analyzed using an algorithm requiring input parameters. Values of the input parameters are derived from metadata, indicating properties of the medical image. For example, the metadata may indicate the type of image acquisition device or settings used to create the medical image. In another example, the metadata may relate to the patient upon whom the image is based. This allows optimum values to be selected for the parameters.
