Abstract
A method of evaluating tissue of an organ includes performing at least one of classification processing and clustering processing to obtain a processed dataset to visualize at least one of the imaging agent, blood, the contrast agent, and the biomedical agent distribution in the tissue, a relative regional uptake of the at least one of the imaging agent, blood, the contrast agent, and the biomedical agent in the tissue, relative regional flow of the at least one of the imaging agent, blood, the contrast agent, and the biomedical agent and the clearance or persistence of the at least one of the imaging agent, blood, the contrast agent, and the biomedical agent within the tissue and the characterization of elemental components of disease.
