Abstract

A novel registration technique is presented that combines ultraviolet and structured light imaging to register anatomic landmarks. The use of these contrasting modalities overcomes the problem of markers interfering with the structured light image. The notion of hierarchical registration is also introduced. This involves multiple levels of registration resolution. The effectiveness of these techniques is demonstrated in a study of fiducial movement during respiration. Applications to breast volume measurement and burn injury assessment are considered
