Abstract

The visual combination of different medical image acquisition techniques (modalities) can lead to new modalities with enhanced informative content. In this paper, we present an overlay technique of magnetic resonance (MR) and 3D US image data sets of the female anal canal (internal and external sphincter) as a base for a new diagnostic modality. It is a new field of the application of the overlay technique. Three corresponding MR and US volume data sets from the female pelvic floor region were filtered using adaptive filtering techniques and overlayed (=registered rigidly) with a landmark based alignment method.
