ABSTRACT:
A computerized method, system and computer program for the computerized fractal-based analysis of a structure as presented in a pattern on a medical image. Image data is generated from the medical image and a region of interest is selected. The image data is digitized and analyzed to reveal fractal-based computer-generated features of a texture of the image data. Then a qualifier is applied to the computer-generated features to obtain fractal characteristics of the image data. A multi-fractal nature is observed for the texture of the region of interest. A marker for assessing a risk of a disease is yielded based on the multi-fractal nature of the texture.
