Abstract

A method for registering a first imaging dataset of a small animal with a second imaging dataset of the animal includes defining a contour of the animal body and dividing it into subregions using skeleton lines. The subregions of the first dataset, once defined, are morphed individually into corresponding subregions of the second dataset. A set of lines may be found for defining each of the subregions, and an index determined which relates the lines of a subregion of the first dataset to those of a corresponding subregion of the second dataset. A pixel index may thereafter be determined for each of the lines, and used to map each pixel of a line to a corresponding list of pixels for the corresponding line of the other dataset.
