Abstract
A method is for visually displaying quantitative information in medical imaging data records, in which an image data record and/or one or more additional data records, in which each image element of the image data record has one or more associated values as quantitative information, are obtained from one or more measurement data records after one or more processing steps. The image data record and/or the one or more additional data records is/are used to calculate a significance function which, for each image element in a prescribable image region, represents a degree of similarity between the one or more values associated with the image element and a prescribable value or a prescribable value combination. Further, the significance function is graphically displayed on an image reproduction unit. The present method can be used for visually displaying quantitative information contained in medical imaging data records easily and clearly.
