Abstract
In a method and apparatus for aligning two sets of medical imaging data, first and second sets of image data are obtained respectively, using first and second different medical imaging modalities, of an anatomical feature of a subject. For each set, an axis of the anatomical feature and a landmark point for the anatomical feature is determined, and the first and second sets are aligned by comparing the respective axes and landmark points.
