Abstract

In a method and computer for evaluating medical image data of an examination subject, a clinical marker of the examination subject is acquired that characterizes a status of the examination subject in relation to a physiological parameter, and a normal value range for the physiological parameter is ascertained that is matched to the status of the examination subject as a function of the clinical marker. Medical image data of the examination subject are acquired, and a value of the physiological parameter of the examination subject is determined using the medical image data. This value is compared with the normal value range matched to the status of the examination subject, and the result of the comparison is provided as an output.
