A plurality of diagnostic images of a region of interest of a subject are
generated and stored in a patient database (10). In one of the images, a
region of interest, such as a tumor, is identified. The database is
searched for the other images of the same region of interest. Parameter
values indicative of characteristics of the tumor are extracted from each
image and displayed in tabular or graphic format by time. The images are
reformatted, scaled, and displayed in a cine format to illustrate a
temporal evolution of the tumor in the region of interest.
