Active Index Model: A Technology For Regional Quantitative Medical Imaging Analysis
Researchers have developed a tool for analyzing medicalimaging data that can specifically identify regional anatomic changes in termsof structural and/or functional characteristics in an individual, or in aclinically defined population as compared to a reference population. ThisActive Index Model (AIM) is a method for computing statistical distributions orcharacteristics of one or more quantitative measures taken from one or moreclinically defined populations over a mean atomic space (MAS). AIM is capable of detecting regional physiologicaldifferences and changes in an anatomical structure, and uses the informationfor diagnostic purposes in a subject/population whose clinical status isunknown. This technology can be utilized in a wide range of medical imaging,and detecting early responses in osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, aneurysmalchanges in vasculature of the brain, etc.
