Abstract

See full text

The invention relates to a method for optimally visualizing a morphologic region of interest of a bone in an X-ray image of a patient, comprising: —receiving a set of 3D medical images of the bone, —creating a 3D bone model of at least part of the bone comprising said region of interest from said set of 3D images, —determining a criterion representative of a visualization of the extent of said morphologic region of interest, —automatically determining from the 3D bone model optimal relative bone and X-ray orientation so as to optimize said criterion for said patient, —creating at least one virtual X-ray image of the bone from said set of 3D images according to said optimal relative bone and virtual X-ray orientation.
