Abstract
The present invention relates to production of 2D digital images suitable for use in medical imaging. The invention particularly relates to remapping X-ray images taken from a first viewpoint so that they present the same image as seen from a second viewpoint. Remapping is achieved by registering separate 2D images taken from the first and second viewpoints of an area with a 3D scan volume of the same region to ascertain their relative viewpoints with respect to the 3D scan volume. The image taken with respect to the first viewpoint is then remapped to yield the image as seen from the second viewpoint.
