    摘要: Embodiments of the invention introduce the concept of a virtual fiducial marker (VFM). This marker will not be placed prior to preoperative imaging. It will therefore not initially appear in the preoperative 3D image. Instead, the marker will be virtually placed in the 3D data set prior to surgery, and as such the marker does not even need to be attached to the patient, if the patient is not expected to move during surgery. The idea behind such a VFM comes from the observation that there is a big variation in the difficulty of an image based registration depending on the quality of the images and their field of view. However, provided two initial registrations to high quality wide field of view images can be carried out, it then becomes possible to use these registrations to insert a virtual fiducial marker within the 3D preoperative image. Once inserted it may then be used to obtain a starting position for a registration procedure, and particularly to obtain in-plane translations. It may also be used at the end of a registration to provide a measure of registration accuracy, to verify the registration and detect mis-registrations.

    摘要: An image generation method is described, comprising obtaining a plurality of 2D images through an object to be imaged, obtaining a 3D image data set of the object to be imaged, and registering the 2D images with the 3D image data set. The method then provides for clutter removal from the image. In a medical imaging context this can provide for "de-boned" images, allowing soft tissue to be more clearly seen. Another aspect of the method further provides for defining an image reconstruction plane internal to the object, being the plane of an image to be reconstructed from the plurality of 2D images. Then, for a pixel in the image reconstruction plane, corresponding pixel values from the plurality of 2D images are mapped thereto, and the mapped pixel values are combined into a single value to give a value for the pixel in the image reconstruction plane.
