Zusammenfassung:This paper describes a semi-automatic system for registering and visualizing CT (computer tomography) and MR (magnetic resonance) images. This system has been designed for images of the brain and augmented to include images of the spine. Registration requires identifying similar objects or structures in each image set. This task is complicated because these imaging modalities provide complementary information of the anatomy. Following structure identification, the mapping transformation from one image set to the other can be determined using a nonlinear optimization procedure. The final step is visualization of the results of the registered images sets.< >
