Abstract
Described embodiments include a system, method, and computer program product. A described system includes a receiver circuit configured to receive a medical image that includes a region of interest of a mammalian body part, and a reference image that includes a landmark subsurface feature of the mammalian body part, the landmark subsurface feature having a spatial relationship to the region of interest. The system includes a registration circuit configured to register the region of interest and the landmark subsurface feature of the mammalian body part. The system includes a computer-readable, recordable-type media configured to maintain informational data corresponding to the registration of the region of interest and the landmark subsurface feature of the mammalian body part.
