Abstract
A method of medical image registration is to be implemented by a computer device, and includes steps of: obtaining an ultrasound target image corresponding to an area of interest in an ultrasound image; for each of multiple computed tomography (CT) images, obtaining a CT candidate image that corresponds to an area of interest in the CT image; for each of the CT candidate images, calculating a similarity between the CT candidate image and the ultrasound target image; making one of the CT candidate images that corresponds to the greatest similarity among the CT candidate images serve as a CT target image; and performing image registration on the ultrasound target image and the CT target image.
