Abstract
Example systems and methods correctly align or register a first image with a second image using user input to identify location(s) of interest in the overlay image. The system can ask a user to select a vertebral level of interest on a screen displaying the baseline and/or the overlay image. Then, the user input can be advantageously to guide subsequent image registration steps. The systems and methods herein may also be used to augment an existing image-recognition algorithm.
