In a method for automated evaluation of a three-dimensional map of a
laterally-symmetric organ system as well as medical image acquisition
system and a computer program for this purpose, a three-dimensional image
of the organ system is segmented, and the segmented organ system is
deformed such that the deformed organ system has two mirror-symmetric
halves with regard to its external shape. The differences between both
mirror-symmetrical halves of the deformed organ system are determined by
a comparison of one half with the other half. Alternatively, instead of
the deformation of the segmented organ system a mirror-symmetric normal
model of the organ system can be deformed, relative to the organ system,
or vice versa, such that differences of corresponding regions of both
halves of the organ system can be determined using the normal model. The
determined differences are presented to a user.
