Current Approaches for Image Fusion of Histological Data with Computed Tomography and Magnetic Resonance Imaging

Figure 10

Expanding on their group-wise image-to-image registration, Xiao et al. [10] undertook efforts to reconstruct the original tissue in silico. The rendered MRI volume (a) was registered with the reconstructed histology volume (b) of the human prostate. The resulting joint volume is portrayed in (c).
