A visual display is provided of the image having a varying color scale for different regions of interest within the body. Medical personnel are able to select various regions of interest within the image for which further study is desired. In addition, within the region of interest the medical personnel may select a particular feature representing data corresponding to medical information within the body for which further study is desired and have the computer perform an analysis to compare to or locate other tissue of the same type elsewhere in the data sets.
