Reported measured lung perfusion data of 2-year old children after congenital diaphragmatic hernia repair was evaluated by regions of interest (ROI) within the acquired 3D volume. In this work a histogram based approach is used to characterize the distribution of perfusion in the whole left and right lung, and suitable quantities to characterize the distribution are extracted.
