摘要：
Methods and systems for evaluating bone lesions include accessing a first dataset acquired from a patient with a first imaging modality and a second dataset acquired from the patient with a second imaging modality. A segmentation is performed on the first dataset to identify a subset of the first dataset corresponding to a skeletal structure of the patient and a patient skeletal metric representing a total bone volume of the patient is automatically calculated from the subset of the first dataset. The methods and systems further include detection of at least one lesion in the second dataset, classification of the at least one lesion as a bone or non-bone lesion, automatic calculation of a bone lesion metric based on the classification, and calculation of a lesion burden as a ratio of the bone lesion metric and the patient skeletal metric.
