  • Medical image data alignment apparatus, method and program
    Patent number: 8559686
    Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a medical image data alignment apparatus, method and program capable of aligning different kinds of image data on a tissue to be objected at high precision and in a short time. According to the present invention, a patient SPECT and a patient CT are aligned via atlas data. The atlas data is a standard of SPECT image data, and is created based on SPECT image data of a plurality of patients. The patient SPECT and the atlas data are aligned based on the correlation of image signal values thereof, and a first transformation matrix T1 is determined. The atlas data and the patient CT are aligned based on the coordinate information added to these data in advance, and a second transformation matrix T2 is determined. The patient SPECT and the patient CT are aligned using the first transformation matrix T1 and the second transformation matrix T2.
