ABSTRACT:
A method for processing slice images wherein information indicative of at least one quantitative measure is formed from image sets. The image sets are acquired from at least two imaging directions. At least two of the image sets relating to the imaging directions are used for forming the information. A method for reducing misalignments, a module, a system and a computer program product for implementing the method.
