Abstract
A system () and method (): access () a 3D reference image of a region of interest (ROI) () in a subject which was obtained using a first 3D imaging modality; segment () the ROI in the 3D reference image to define () a reference 3D coordinate system; acquire () 2D acoustic images of the ROI without absolute spatial tracking; generate () a standardized predicted pose for the 2D acoustic images with respect to a standardized 3D coordinate system () which was defined for a plurality of previously-obtained 3D images of corresponding ROIs in a plurality of other subjects which were obtained using the first 3D imaging modality; convert () the standardized predicted poses for the 2D acoustic images from the standardized 3D coordinate system to reference predicted poses in the reference 3D coordinate system; and use () the reference predicted poses for the 2D acoustic images to register the 2D acoustic images to the 3D reference image.
