Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A method of aligning multiple volumetric sections of imaging data is provided. The method comprises aligning a primary volumetric section and a secondary volumetric section which is adjacent to the primary volumetric imaging section, for moving the secondary volumetric section into alignment with the primary volumetric section. A related apparatus for performing the method is also provided.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A method of aligning multiple volumetric sections of imaging data comprising the steps of: choosing a primary volumetric section and a secondary volumetric section which is adjacent to the primary volumetric imaging section, for moving the secondary volumetric section into alignment with the primary volumetric section; determining one or more z-axis alignment parameters for shifting a position of the secondary volumetric section in a z-axis direction…
