Abstract
The correlation of functional images of the kidney with anatomical images is important to improve diagnosis and treatment. We propose a method to register SPECT (Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography) and US (ultrasound) images of the kidney that consists in tracking the US probe in the space thanks to an optical three-dimensional position sensor. This method has been experimented on three patients and has provided very promising results.
