Abstract
The present invention relates to a method for processing image data comprising image information about a body region of a patient, the method being at least partly executed by an electronic data processing device and comprising the following steps: d) providing the image data; e) assigning, to elements of the image information, a predetermined probability for the image information contained in the respective element representing a predetermined tissue class, wherein the predetermined probability is provided independently of information about at least part of a body which is different from the body of the patient; f) determining, on the basis of the predetermined probability and for a subset of the image information comprising a plurality of the elements, an element-specific probability for individual elements of the subset representing an element-specific tissue class.
