Abstract
The present invention provides a method and a system for medical imaging and information display. According to an aspect of the present invention, there is proposed a method (10) of medical imaging and information display, comprising: acquiring (11) imaging data of each point of a plurality of points in an imaging plane or imaging volume of a subject in each mode of a plurality of different imaging modes of a medical imaging apparatus; deriving (12), for said each point, a value by applying the imaging data of the point in said each mode and the imaging data of at least one other point of said plurality of points adjacent to the point in said each mode to a predetermined model, wherein the predetermined model is selected in accordance with a clinical medical application related to the subject; constructing (13) an image based on all the derived values; and displaying (14) the constructed image to a user. Accordingly, the novel method of medical imaging and information display may reduce the burden of doctors, and provide them with an image with a higher definition compared to the conventional ROI method.
