1. A computerized method for improving soft tissue analysis, the method comprising:
obtaining, via a computing device, a plurality of radiological images of patient, where each of the radiological images is obtained using different excitations;
selecting, by the computing device, a process among a plurality of processes to analyze the plurality of excitations based on an expected soft tissue type,
wherein the plurality of processes comprises a digital subtraction process, digital addition process, a multivariate statistical process, or an excitation selection process, wherein the digital addition process comprises averaging the received plurality of radiological images; and
segmenting, by the computer devices, the processed plurality of excitations to display the soft tissue.
