1. A method for multi-modality registration using virtual cursors, the method comprising:

  • receiving a two-dimensional image dataset for an object at a first position;

    receiving a three-dimensional image dataset for the object at the first position, said three-dimensional image dataset including a plurality of image slices;

    registering the two-dimensional image dataset with the three-dimensional image dataset without taking into account a magnification factor;

    receiving a user cursor position for a location in the two-dimensional image dataset;

    receiving a slice of interest in said three-dimensional image dataset, said slice of interest selected from said plurality of image slices;

    calculating a shadow cursor position for a location in the three-dimensional image dataset, the shadow cursor position corresponding to the user cursor position and the calculating including a correction for the magnification factor corresponding to the shadow cursor position for the slice of interest; and

    outputting the shadow cursor position.
