ABSTRACT:
A medical diagnostic imaging system is employed to generate two or more diagnostic images with each image generated using a different imaging modality. The imaging system includes an imaging device for generating the diagnostic image information, an operator interface for controlling the operation of the imaging device, an imaging device control module that operates on the diagnostic image information generated by the imaging device and sends the processed image information to a display device. After first generating two or more test images that are used to identify target tissue and to derive functions that are later used during the diagnostic process to identify target tissue and to assign vector magnitudes to the identified target tissue, two or more diagnostic images are then generated and the color in each image is quantified. The images that have been color quantified are then run through a matrix operation which employs the earlier derived functions to identify potential target tissue and to assign vector magnitudes to the identified target tissue. The results of this matrix operation are then processed to arrive at a characteristic diagnostic result which is used to reach a diagnostic conclusion.
