Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	The invention relates to a medical image registration method in which an actual part of a patient's body is locationally assigned to a stored image of the part of the body with computer assistance, wherein the part of the patient's body comprises a rigid structure and a soft-tissue structure above it, wherein the location of at least one reference point on the rigid structure is ascertained, through the closed soft-tissue structure, by means of optical coherence tomography (OCT), when detecting the actual spatial location of the part of the body. It also relates to a pointer unit of a medical image registration apparatus, which comprises an optical coherence tomography (OCT) scanner or its emitting unit.
