Assignee: CANON MEDICAL SYSTEMS CORPORATION
Field: Computer technology (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 0:
1. A medical image processing apparatus comprising processing circuitry configured to:
receive first volume data and second volume data;
set a first symmetry plane for the first volume data and a second symmetry plane for the second volume data; and
conduct a registration of the first volume data and the second volume data based on the first symmetry plane and the second symmetry plane, wherein
the registration comprises an alignment procedure and a constrained registration procedure, and
the alignment procedure comprises determining:
a first translation corresponding to a first direction;
a second rotation angle having a rotational axis corresponding to a second direction, wherein the second direction is orthogonal to the first direction; and
a third rotation angle having a rotational axis corresponding to a third direction, wherein the third direction is orthogonal to the first direction and to the second direction.
