  • Patent number: 9672616
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for obtaining probability density functions representing expected distributions of values of a parameter associated with an imaging modality are disclosed. The probability density functions are derived using data obtained from reference tissue volumes using the same imaging modality and at least one other type of imaging modality. The probability density functions are used to analyze data obtained from a volume of tissue of a patient in order to classify the tissue according to tissue type. Methods and apparatus are also disclosed in which deviations from a mean of an arctangent of ratios of first and second metabolite intensities in voxels are used to identify tissue types.
    Type: Grant
