Claim One:
1. A method for providing a multi-modal deformable imaging registration, characterized in the method comprising the steps of: generating a deformation model of a structure of interest acquired with a high definition imaging modality at different deformation states for a plurality of subjects; calculating a mean deformation and a plurality of deformation mode, Eigenvectors for the body structure of interest from the model; performing a registration of landmark points between images from the high definition imaging modality and a different imaging modality for the same subject to calculate the deformation field transformation matrix for the landmarks from the images; determining weights for each deformation mode Eigenvector using deformation field values at the landmarks with the mean deformation and the deformation mode vectors; and summing the mean deformation field and the linear combination of the weighted deformation mode vectors to determine the deformation field between the different imaging modes.
