FIELD: information technology.
SUBSTANCE: method for use in functional medical imaging involves adaptively partitioning functional imaging data as a function of a spatially varying error model. The functional image data are partitioned according to an optimisation strategy. The data may be visualised or used to plan a course of treatment. In one version, the image data are partitioned so as to vary their spatial resolution. In another version, the number of clusters is varied based on the error model.
EFFECT: high efficiency of functional medical imaging owing to accounting for noise effects and other uncertainties in functional imaging.
