ENHANCED SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR VOLUME BASED REGISTRATION
First Claim
1. A method for volume based registration of images, the method comprising:
- receiving a first image data set and at least one other image data set;
identifying a first image slice in the at least one other image data set corresponding to the first image data set;
selecting a first point of interest in at least one of the first image data set or the first image slice in the at least one other image data set;
selecting a second point of interest in the other of the first image data set or the first image slice in the at least one other image data set, wherein the second point of interest corresponds to the first point of interest;
translating one of the first image data set, the first image slice, or both, in a first direction, a second direction and a third direction to align the first point of interest with the second point of interest; and
updating registration of the first image data set and the at least one other image data set.

Abstract
A method for volume based registration of images is presented. The method includes receiving a first image data set and at least one other image data set. Further the method includes identifying a first image slice in the at least one other image data set corresponding to the first image data set. The method also includes selecting a first point of interest on at least one of the first image data set or the first image slice in the at least one other image data set. In addition, the method includes selecting a second point of interest on the other of the first image data set or the first image slice in the at least one other image data set, wherein the second point of interest corresponds to the first point of interest. Moreover, the method includes translating one of the first image data set, the first image slice, or both, in a first direction, a second direction and a third direction to align the first point of interest with the second point of interest. Also, the method includes registering the first image data set and the at least one other image data set. Systems and computer-readable medium that afford functionality of the type defined by this method is also contemplated in conjunction with the present technique.

13. A method for volume based registration of images, the method comprising:
-
receiving a first image data set and at least one other image data set; identifying a location in the first image data set, wherein the location is in a known orientation to one or more image slices in the at least one other image data set; selecting a first point of interest in at least one of the first image data set or the at least one other image data set; selecting a second point of interest in the other of the first image data set or the at least one other image data set, wherein the second point of interest corresponds to the first point of interest; translating one of the first image data set, the at least one other image data set, or both, in a first direction, a second direction and a third direction to align the first point of interest with the second point of interest; and updating registration of the first image data set and the at least one other image data set. - View Dependent Claims (14)

15. A computer readable medium comprising one or more tangible media, wherein the one or more tangible media comprise:
-
code adapted to receive a first image data set and at least one other image data set; code adapted to identify a first image slice in the at least one other image data set corresponding to the first image data set; code adapted to select a first point of interest in at least one of the first image data set or the first image slice in the at least one other image data set; code adapted to select a second point of interest in the other of the first image data set or the first image slice in the at least one other image data set, wherein the second point of interest corresponds to the first point of interest; code adapted to translate one of the first image data set, the first image slice, or both, in a first direction, a second direction and a third direction to align the first point of interest with the second point of interest; and code adapted to update registration of the first image data set and the at least one other image data set. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18)

19. A system, comprising:
-
at least one imaging system configured to obtain a first image data set and at least one other image data set; and a processing sub-system operationally coupled to the at least one imaging system and configured to process each of the first image data set and the at least one other image data set to generate a registered image based upon a volume based registration of the first image data set and the at least one other image data set. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21, 22, 23, 24)
