摘要
Rationale and Objectives. The authors have developed an automated computerized technique for registering radionuclide lung scan images with digital chest radiographs. Methods. Threshold analysis was used to construct contours around the high-activity regions of radionuclide ventilation-perfusion images. Analogous contours were constructed around the lung regions of the corresponding digitized radiographs. Contour dimensions and anatomic landmark locations were then used to superimpose the radiographic, ventilation, and perfusion images. Results. Evaluation of 25 sets of images indicated that the scheme provided adequate to excellent registration in 91% of the pairwise combinations. Conclusion. This automated scheme for registering ventilation-perfusion images with digital chest radiographs has the potential to aid radiologists in the interpretation of these images.
