Abstract

We have developed a method that allows us to register 3D multimodality imaging sets automatically. This method uses N-bar landmarks to register MR and PET imaging. A WINDOWS-95 based software for the presentation of MR and PET fusion imaging has been designed. With friendly operation, this software can interactively display the registered imaging at an arbitrary slice in real time
