Abstract

The present invention refers to providing a system that allows to very accurately determine the state of a disease, like COPD, in a patient. The system (100) comprises a unit (101) for providing images of the region of interest corresponding to different states of the region of interest, a unit (102) for elastically registering the images to each other resulting in an elastic registration output, a unit (103) for determining a specific tissue region in an image, a unit (104) for determining a specific elastic registration output for the specific tissue region based on the determined elastic registration output, and a unit (105) for determining an elastic indicator for the specific tissue type based on the specific elastic registration output. Thus, a state of a disease that influences the elastic properties of the specific tissue type can be determined very accurately.
