Generating composite medical images

Abstract

The invention relates to generating a composite medical image combining at least first and second image data. Particularly, the invention relates to a medical imaging system for generating a composite medical view or image combining at least first and second image data as well as a method for generating a composite medical image. In order to provide a combination of image data providing improved perceptibility and enhancing the use of acquired image data, a medical imaging system for generating a composite medical view/image combining at least first and second image data, comprising an image acquisition device, a data processing unit and a display device, a medical imaging system and a method for generating a composite medical image combining at least first and second image data provided, the method comprising the following steps: a) selecting first image data of a first image () and second image data of a second image (); b) registering the first and the second image data; c) determining a boundary connecting sector connecting adjacent boundaries of the first image and the second image; d) generating a separator () on behalf of the image data of the boundary connecting sector; e) combining image data of the first image and the second image with image data of the separator to a combined image data; and f) displaying the combined image comprising the separator ().
