Correlated image mapping pointer

摘要

A system (106) visualizing an image registration mapping in an intuitive interactive manner. The system (106) includes a display (110) and one or more processors (116). The processors (116) are programmed to receive a first image and a second image and obtain an image registration mapping from the first image to the second image. Even more, the processors (116) are programmed to display the first image adjacent to the second image on the display (110) and obtain one or more reference image locations. Each of the reference image locations is defined in the coordinate frame of one of the first image and the second image. Moreover, the processors (116) are programmed to highlight each of the reference image locations on the one of the first image and the second image and highlight a correlated image location for each of the reference image locations in the other one of the first image and the second image. The correlated image locations are determined using the image registration mapping.

1. A system for visualizing an image registration mapping, said system comprising:
a display; and, one or more processors programmed to:
receive a first image including a first coordinate frame and a second image including a second coordinate frame that is different from the first coordinate frame;obtain an image registration mapping from the first image to the second image;display the first image adjacent to the second image on the display;obtain one or more reference image locations, each defined in the coordinate frame of one of the first image and the second image;highlight each reference image location on the one of the first image and the second image; and,highlight a correlated image location for each reference image location in the other one of the first image and the second image, wherein the correlated image locations are determined using the image registration mapping;wherein the image registration mapping includes:
adding the image registration mapping to the reference image location of one of the first image and the second image and transforming the sum into the coordinate frame of another one of the first image and the second image when the image registration mapping is in the coordinate frame of the one of the first image and the second image; andtransforming the reference image location to the coordinate frame of the other of the first image and the second image and adding the image registration mapping when the image registration mapping is in the coordinate frame of the other one of the first image and the second image.
