Abstract
The present invention relates to methods and systems for conducting three-dimensional image analysis and diagnosis and possible treatment relating thereto. The invention includes methods of handling signals containing information (data) relating to three-dimensional representation of objects scanned by a scanning medium. The invention also includes methods of making and analyzing volumetric measurements and changes in volumetric measurements which can be used for the purpose of diagnosis and treatment.

190. A method of determining volumetric change of size over a period of time comprising:
-
a. determining a doubling time (DT) for a change in volumetric dimension of an object found in a host; b. establishing a relationship based on an exponential change model and said period of time between volumetric doubling time and the relative change in volume; and c. determining said volumetric change over said period of time. - View Dependent Claims (191)
