Abstract
An image registration method is described for X-ray imagery, in which specific views of the x-rays are provided to optimize tie point selection accuracy and efficiency. The first view maintains context during initial point selection. The second view provides a detailed view of each point pair, to allow for fine adjustment, while automatically presenting each point pair in sequence to the user. After the tie points are refined and the images are registered, a third view is provided which allows direct comparison of the registered images.
