  • Model-based registration of cardiac CTA and MR acquisitions
    Patent number: 6563941
    Abstract: A method for registration of magnetic resonance (MR) and computed topography (CT) images, in accordance with the present invention includes providing MR images having a region of interest delineated by first contours and providing CT images having the region of interest delineated by second contours. A pre-existing model of the region of interest is also provided. The pre-existing model is fit to the first contours or the second contours to provide a first resultant model. The first resultant model is then copied to provide a copied model. The copied model is fit to the other of the first contours and the second contours to provide a second resultant model. By rotating and translating the first resultant model and the second resultant model, the first resultant model and the second resultant model are registered.
