Abstract:
1. A method to provide an augmented reality image, comprising: receiving a reference image of an organ of a patient from a first imaging modality device, receiving an unregistered image of the organ of the patient from a second imaging modality device or the first imaging modality device; determining predicted registration parameters for the unregistered image using a dynamical model associated with motion of the organ, determining measured registration parameters of the unregistered image by a slice-to-volume registration of the unregistered image with the reference image; determining estimated registration parameters of the unregistered image by using the predicted registration parameters to tune the measured registration parameters; registering the unregistered image with the reference image using the estimated registration parameters; and generating, by a computer, the augmented reality image comprising the reference image and the registered image.
