In oncological diagnosis, routinely follow-up scans have to be read for assessment of treatment. Changes of the patient over time do not allow easy and direct comparisson. Simple linking of slices is not suffient for most cases.

Fraunhofer MEVIS is developing methods for image registration, that help to make oncological reading smarter. Current and prior DICOM series are registered deformable. The result is a so called deformation field which allows linking of every position from one dataset on its exact anatomical position in the other.
