A method for expanding the domain of imaging software in a diagnostic
work-up includes the steps of: imaging a patient's body parts for a
first condition using a first imaging technique directed to a first
condition; acquiring known patient risk factors indicating a second
condition; compensating for differences in accuracy between a first
imaging technique directed to a first condition, and a second imaging
technique directed to testing for the second condition to generate a set
of measures; placing a range and confidence interval around the set of
measures; and evaluating for a second condition using the set of measures
and known patient risk factors.
