1. A method for multi-modal imaging, the method comprising:

  • receiving first and second image data sets of an anatomical structure of interest of a patient, the first and second image data sets generated by scanning the patient;

    identifying an anatomical marker in each of the first and second image data sets, the anatomical marker representing a feature of the anatomical structure of interest;

    registering the first and second image data sets to a geometrical model of the anatomical structure of interest within a parametric coordinate system to form a registered image, wherein the geometrical model is a generic representation of the anatomical structure of interest and is not based on information specific to the patient, the geometrical model including a location of a reference anatomical marker within the parametric coordinate system, the reference anatomical marker being associated with the anatomical marker identified in each of the first and second image data sets, wherein the registering operation includes aligning the anatomical marker in each of the first and second image data sets to the location of the reference anatomical marker in the parametric coordinate system; and

    displaying the registered image.
