Fast CT/PET registration based on partial volume matching

Combining CT representing bone structures and PET visualizing functional information reveals many advantages in the area of cancer diagnosis and treatment.

Description
Summary:Combining CT representing bone structures and PET visualizing functional information reveals many advantages in the area of cancer diagnosis and treatment. Here, fully automatic registration is desired but very time-consuming when considering big datasets. We present a technique to register CT and PET datasets based on the “Mutual Information” criterion. To overcome the speed problem, we developed a new approach for the matching based on partial volumes introducing a “3D cross model”.
