Abstract
There are disclosed embodiments for image based registration. An image registration system sets image transform parameters based on pixels of registered ultrasound image and CT (or MRI) image. The image registration system transforms ultrasound images, which may be newly provided, by using the image transform parameters to thereby output transform images. The image registration system performs image based registration on the transform images and the second images.
Claims14
An image registration system, comprising:
- a first image providing unit operable to provide first images of a target object;
- a second image providing unit operable to provide second images of the target object;
- a processing unit operable to set image transform parameters based on pixels of the first and second images and transform the first images by using the image transform parameters to thereby output transform images, the processing unit being further operable to perform image registration on the transform images and the second images.
An image registration method in an image registration system including a first image providing unit, a second image providing unit and a processing unit, comprising:
- a) at the first image providing unit, providing a first image of a target object;
- b) at the second image providing unit, providing a second image of the target object;
- c) at the processing unit, setting image transform parameters based on pixels of the first and second images;
- d) at the processing unit, transforming the first images by using the image transform parameters to thereby form transform images;
- and
- e) at the processing unit, performing image registration on the transform images and the second images.
A computer-readable record medium storing instructions for performing functions of:
- a) providing a first image of a target object;
- b) providing a second image of the target object;
- c) setting image transform parameters based on pixels of the first and second images;
- d) transforming the first images by using the image transform parameters to thereby form transform images;
- and
- e) performing image registration on the transform images and the second images.
