ABSTRACT:
Method of automatic registration of three-dimensional images making possible visualization of the blood vessels, by comparison of a three-dimensional digital image obtained by means of a radiology apparatus and a three-dimensional digital image obtained by means of a nuclear magnetic resonance apparatus, in which, from a point of correspondence between the two three-dimensional images, an estimate is made by processing of the projected two-dimensional images of a rotation capable of registering the two three-dimensional images, then an estimate is made by processing of the projected two-dimensional images of a translation capable of registering the two three-dimensional images, and one of the two three-dimensional images is registered in relation to the other.
