      abstract = {A computerized method, system and computer program for the  computerized fractal-based analysis of a structure as  presented in a pattern on a medical image. Image data is  generated from the medical image and a region of interest  is selected. The image data is digitized and analyzed to  reveal fractal-based computer-generated features of a  texture of the image data. Then a qualifier is applied to  the computer-generated features to obtain fractal  characteristics of the image data. A multi-fractal nature  is observed for the texture of the region of interest. A  marker for assessing a risk of a disease is yielded based  on the multi-fractal nature of the texture.},
