Abstract
In the context of a method for the analysis of image data representing a three-dimensional volume (10, 20) of biological tissue, for each of a number of subvolumes at least two error probability values (41, 42, 43, 44) are generated, each of the values (41, 42, 43, 44) indicating a probability of a type of imaging error, the totality of subvolumes constituting the three-dimensional volume (10, 20). A single consolidated error probability value (51) is determined for each of the number of subvolumes, based on the at least two error probability values (41, 42, 43, 44). Subsequently, the image data is analyzed to obtain a physiologically relevant conclusion applying to a plurality of subvolumes, weighting in the analysis the image data of a given subvolume of the plurality of subvolumes according to the consolidated error probability (51) of the subvolume.
