A method of analyzing image data comprises: obtaining a first image of a first part of an object; obtaining a second image of a second part of the object having overlap with the first part; obtaining a mapping between the first and second images; segmenting the second image to obtain a segmentation; detecting outliers in the first image by identifying extreme intensity values of elements within one or more classes of elements on the basis of the segmentation; replacing elements of the second image that correspond to at least some outliers of the first image, with replacement values, to obtain a corrected second image; and updating the segmentation by performing the segmenting on the corrected second image. The detecting outliers, the replacing, and the updating are performed iteratively until a predetermined convergence criterion is met, which represents a point where there is no significant change in the tissue and lesion segmentations.
