Abstract
In a method for assessing an acquired functional medical scan, a virtual functional medical scan is generated from a structural medical scan (e.g., MRI) using known techniques. The acquired functional medical image scan is then assessed by comparing it with the virtual functional medical scan. Since both scans are derived from the same source, there is no need for e.g., registration of the patient anatomy and the reference data.
