Patent ID: 7822246

Claim:
A method for integration of medical diagnostic information and a geometric model of a movable body based on a first dataset comprising shape and motion information about the movable body and a second dataset comprising medical diagnostic information about the movable body, said method comprising the steps of: selecting for the first dataset results of a segmentation step of an image dataset comprising said shape and motion information, whereby said results comprise information on at least a shape of the movable body; selecting for the second dataset a texture image dataset comprising said medical diagnostic information; constructing the geometric model of the movable body based on said results of the segmentation step, whereby said geometric model is representative of at least a shape of the movable body; determining a spatial correspondence information between the results of the segmentation step and the texture image dataset; fusing the geometric model and the texture image dataset using said spatial correspondence information yielding a textured geometric model of the movable body.
