Abstract: A diagnostic system to analyze imaging data includes a memory configured to store hybrid imaging data of a tissue sample. The system also includes a processor operatively coupled to the memory and configured to generate a four quadrant plot based on the hybrid imaging data. Each point in the four quadrant plot corresponds to an image voxel of the tissue sample. The processor is also configured to determine one or more angle values and one or more distance values for image voxels in the four quadrant plot. The processor is further configured to identify one or more characteristics of the tissue sample based at least in part on the one or more angle values and the one or more distance values. The processor is further configured to perform a matrix analysis of the data, which can be used to identify the one or more characteristics of the tissue sample.

Abstract: A non-transitory storage medium stores instructions readable and executable by at least one electronic processor (20) to perform an imaging method (100). The method includes: obtaining multi-parametric magnetic resonance (MR) imaging data parameterized by a diffusion weighting or perfusion weighting parameter and a magnetization relaxation parameter for a region of interest (ROI) of a patient; determining volume fraction maps of the ROI for each of a plurality of tissue types from the multi-parametric MR imaging data; and controlling a display device (24) to display a tissue composition map comprising or generated from the determined volume fraction maps.

Abstract: A computing device determines a contrast medium uptake time using magnetic resonance imaging data. Image data constructed from data generated by a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) machine of a subject is read. A representation computed from the read image data is presented on a display device. Baseline artery locations identified within the presented representation that are associated with a baseline artery are received. A first time-of-arrival (TOA) of contrast medium into the baseline artery is determined using the received baseline artery locations and the read image data. For a plurality of locations within the read image data excluding the baseline artery locations, a second TOA of the contrast medium into a respective location relative to the determined first TOA is determined using the read image data, and the determined second TOA is stored in association with the respective location to assist in lesion identification for the subject.
