Abstract:
1. A method of concurrently navigating sets of a plurality if biomedical images comprising: defining a reference image (A) and a comparison image (B); executing a non-rigid registration (R) of the comparison image (B) on the reference image (A) and saving, for each point (P) of the comparison image (B), a transformation (TR) obtained from the registration (R); visualizing a reference view (VA) of the reference image (A) and selecting a reference point (PA) in the reference view (VA); identifying, on the comparison image (B) registered on the reference image (A), a comparison point (PB) corresponding to the reference point (PA) by using the transformation (TR); and concurrently visualizing the reference view (VA) and a comparison view (VB, VB′) of the comparison image (B), wherein the comparison view (VB,VB′) contains a comparison point (PB) and is defined based only on a rigid component of the transformation (TR) relative to the comparison point (PB), or is defined based on a translation, a rotation, or a scaling factor that are part of the rigid component of the transformation (TR) relative to the comparison point (PB).
