Breast lesion co-localisation between X-ray and MR images using finite element modelling

- X-ray and MR image registration method based on FE models of the breast is proposed.
- Mammographic compressions were simulated from the prone position using FE models.
- Model parameters were iteratively updated based on image similarity measures.
- Clinical applicability of the method was shown using six breast cancer patients.
- Clinical compressions along the CC, MLO, ML and LM directions were considered.
