Abstract
There is provided a method for registration of intravital anatomical imaging modality image data and nuclear medicine image data of a patient's heart comprising: obtaining anatomical image data including a heart of a patient outputted by an anatomical intravital imaging modality; obtaining at least one nuclear medicine image data outputted by a nuclear medicine imaging modality, the nuclear medicine image data including the heart of the patient; identifying a segmentation of a network of vessels of the heart in the anatomical image data; identifying a contour of at least part of the heart in the nuclear medicine image data, the contour including at least one muscle wall border of the heart; correlating between the segmentation and the contour; registering the correlated segmentation and the correlated contour to form a registered image of the anatomical image data and the nuclear medicine image data; and providing the registered image for display.
