Abstract
A system and process for combining multiple datasets to provide a composite dataset is described. The system includes a data collection tool, a computation engine and a memory coupled to the data collection tool and computer-readable code embodied on a computer-readable medium. The computer-readable code is configured so that when the computer-readable code is executed by one or more processors associated with the computation engine the computer-readable code causes the one or more processors to: (i) accept two or more datasets corresponding to distinct measurements of a subject, (ii) initiate processing of the two or more datasets, (iii) contemporaneously segment and register a combination of the two or more datasets to achieve a combined dataset, (iv) test for convergence of the combined dataset and (v) provide the combined dataset for analysis when the test for convergence indicates that the combined dataset has been registered and segmented.
