Abstract
Disclosed is a computer-implemented method of planning a straight trajectory in a medical image of an anatomical structure. A template of the straight trajectory is given in an atlas and the atlas is registered with the medical image. The atlas is divided into a first area and one or more second areas, wherein the first area comprises the straight trajectory and the one or more second areas do not comprise any part of the straight trajectory. When the transformation of the atlas onto the medical image is calculated, the first and second areas are treated differently. The transformation of the first area maintains the straight shape of the trajectory and is thus restricted. The transformation of the one or more second areas is unrestricted and thus allows any kind of image registration. The template of the transformed atlas is the applied to the medical image.
