Abstract
A method for registration of medical images comprises: receiving a 2D X-ray image () acquired with a medical 2D imaging device () under a first view direction; filtering the 2D X-ray image (), such that high frequency components of the 2D X-ray image are emphasized with respect to low frequency components of the 2D X-ray image; receiving a 3D image () acquired with a medical 3D imaging device (); generating a 2D projection image () from the 3D image, wherein the 2D projection image is generated with a second view direction; overlaying the filtered 2D X-ray image and the 2D projection image; providing functionality for changing the second view direction, such that the 2D projection image is registered with the filtered 2D X-ray image.
