1. A computer-implemented method for providing output data comprising an indication regarding an affliction of a patient with an infectious respiratory disease, the method comprising:
receiving magnetic resonance imaging data, the magnetic resonance imaging data acquired using a magnetic resonance imaging system, the magnetic resonance imaging data comprising a lung region of the patient;
applying a trained function to the magnetic resonance imaging data to generate the output data, the trained function being based on an artificial neural network and the output data comprising the indication regarding the affliction of the patient with the infectious respiratory disease, the indication regarding the affliction of the patient with the infectious respiratory disease including an indication whether the patient is afflicted with a post-acute condition following an acute infection with the infectious respiratory disease; and
providing the output data.
