Image registration and guidance using simultaneous X-plane imaging

摘要

A system for image alignment includes an alignment mechanism (132) configured to allow user alignment of images. A first imaging modality (110) is configured to simultaneously provide images in at least two imaging planes using an imaging mechanism (134) associated with an alignment mechanism (132). An image processing module (126) collects using a first imaging modality to enable user alignment using an alignment mechanism between a first image and a second image in multiple planes. Configured to display a second image collected using the first image and the second imaging modality (130). A registration module (115) is stored in memory and configured to align a first image with a corresponding second image in multiple planes when alignment in multiple planes is achieved. Is done.
