Abstract

A computer aided diagnostic system and automated method to classify a kidney utilizes medical image data and clinical biomarkers in evaluation of kidney function pre- and post-transplantation. The system receives image data from a medical scan that includes image data of a kidney, then segments kidney image data from other image data of the medical scan. The kidney is then classified by analyzing at least one feature determined from the kidney image data and the at least one clinical biomarker.
