Patient tracking using a virtual image
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
- obtaining a first image using a first imaging modality and a second image using a second imaging modality, wherein the first and second imaging modalities are of different types;
registering a first image atlas of the first imaging modality with a second image atlas of the second imaging modality to generate an atlas registration result; and
registering, by a processing device, the first image with the second image using the atlas registration result.

10. An apparatus, comprising:
-
an imaging system to provide a first image using a first imaging modality; and a patient tracking module comprising processing logic to registering a first image atlas of the first imaging modality with a second image atlas of a second imaging modality to generate an atlas registration result, the processing logic further to register the first image with a second image, obtained using a second imaging modality, using the atlas registration result, wherein the first and second imaging modalities are of different types. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13)

14. A non-transitory machine-readable medium containing instructions which, when executed by a processing device, cause the processing device to perform operations comprising:
-
obtaining a first image using a first imaging modality and a second image using a second imaging modality, wherein the first and second imaging modalities are of different types; registering a first image atlas of the first imaging modality with a second image atlas of the second imaging modality to generate an atlas registration result; and registering, by the processing device, the first image with the second image using the atlas registration result. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16)
