1. A method for analyzing at least one three-dimensional digital medical image dataset, comprising the steps of:
- obtaining digital medical image data from a number of subjects;
merging said image data from the respective subjects to obtain a three-dimensional digital image dataset;
electronically analyzing said three-dimensional digital image dataset multiple times with regard to a number of medical electronic diagnosis methods to identify at least one significant anatomical region, applicable for diagnosis by at least one of said electronic medical diagnosis methods; and
making data corresponding to said at least one significant region, from said three-dimensional digital image dataset, available as an output.
