Method and apparatus for matching at least one visualized medical measured result with at least one further dataset containing spatial information
First Claim
1. A method for matching two or more visualized measured results obtained with a medical device from an examination subject comprising:
- arranging two or more landmarks in a first visualized measured result in a geometrical arrangement;
determining if a sufficient number of landmarks has been arranged in said first visualized measured result, and, if yes, analyzing a spatial allocation of said arranged landmarks in said first visualized measured result using a first algorithm;
arranging two or more landmarks in a second visualized measured result in a geometrical arrangement;
determining if a sufficient number of landmarks has been arranged in said second visualized measured result, and, if yes, analyzing a spatial arrangement of said arranged landmarks in said second visualized measured result using said first algorithm, andallocating respectively matching landmarks from said first and second visualized measured result to form landmark pairs using a second algorithm based on the analyzing results from the first algorithm.

Abstract
In a method and apparatus for matching at least one visualized medical measured result of a test subject with at least one dataset of the test subject by means of landmarks, landmarks with respect to the displayed test subject are defined in every visualized measured result to be matched and every dataset to be matched. The geometrical arrangement of the landmarks in every measured result and each dataset is analyzed by a first algorithm, and subsequently an allocation of corresponding landmarks of the at least one visualized measured result and of the at least one dataset to form a landmark pair ensues with a second algorithm.
