MRI IMAGE FUSION METHODS AND USES THEREOF

A method for fusing a pre-operative MRI prostate image to an intra-operative TRUS or CT prostate image according to a least-cost affine transformation of the MRI contour onto the TRUS or CT contour, with smooth non-linear warping adjustment. MRI and CT processing may be performed as a pre-operationa...

Zusammenfassung:A method for fusing a pre-operative MRI prostate image to an intra-operative TRUS or CT prostate image according to a least-cost affine transformation of the MRI contour onto the TRUS or CT contour, with smooth non-linear warping adjustment. MRI and CT processing may be performed as a pre-operational procedure for increased efficiency, while TRUS may be performed concurrent with a surgical procedure.
