摘要：
An embodiment of the current invention includes a non-invasive imaging system, comprising: an imaging scanner suitable to generate an image representing a tissue region of a subject under observation, the tissue region having at least one substructure and the image comprising a plurality of image voxels； a signal processing system in communication with the imaging scanner to receive the imaging signal from the imaging scanner； and a data storage unit in communication with the signal processing system, wherein the data storage unit is configured to store: an atlas comprising spatial information of the at least one substructure in the tissue region, and a database comprising a plurality of pre-stored medical images representing the tissue region, and wherein the signal processing system is adapted to: identify, based on the atlas and for each of the at least one substructure, a corresponding portion of image voxels in the image； provide a computed quantification of the corresponding portion of image voxels for each of the at least one substructure of the tissue region by performing spatial filtering on the image； and search the database to provide at least one selected medical image from the plurality of pre-stored medical images, the at least one selected medical image having a corresponding quantification that is substantially similar to the computed quantification.Dans l'un de ses modes de réalisation, la présente invention se rapporte à un système d'imagerie non invasif, comprenant : un scanneur d'imagerie adapté pour générer une image représentant une région de tissu d'un sujet en cours d'examen, la région de tissu ayant au moins une sous-structure et l'image comprenant une pluralité de voxels d'image ； un système de traitement de signal qui est en communication avec le scanneur d'imagerie pour recevoir le signal d'imagerie en provenance du scanneur d'imagerie ； et un module de stockage de données qui est en communication avec le système de traitement de signal.
