Abstract
An overlay of an aligned medical image obtained from a medical scanner is rendered with a reference image. The reference image has a reference structure of a body. An intermediate representation of the reference structure is determined. The medical image has structures corresponding to the reference structures, and an intermediate representation of the structures in the medical image is determined. A rendering parameter is optimized by comparing the intermediate representations of the medical image and of the reference image. The medical image is aligned and overlayed with the reference image based on the optimized rendering parameter, and the aligned and overlayed image is rendered.
