Abstract
The disclosure relates to method and device for determining at least a portion of an anatomy from a set of medical images. Thereafter, the image acquisition protocol associated with the medical images is determined automatically based on the determined anatomy. The image acquisition protocol is automatically determined by extracting one or more features associated with the medical images characterizing the acquisition protocol. Thereafter, the medical images are classified based in the features. Further, the medical images are assigned with an acquisition protocol label based on the classification of the medical images. The medical images are displayed with the respective protocol labels. Further, medical images acquired with an identified image acquisition protocol at different time instances are displayed for comparative analysis.
