Abstract

Increasing number of people are suffering from cancer these days. The highest incidence among women is breast cancer. One of the main sources of diagnostic information is Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). Another one is Positron Emission Tomography with Computer Thomography (PET-CT). Both examinations take place in different patient positions (prone and supine respectively). The only way to obtain complete diagnostic information is to bring MRI images into PET-CT space and compare both. Our preliminary studies focus on creating a simple, deformable finite element model of the breast. Proposed algorithm allows to obtain breast model in supine position, created from MRI images obtained in prone position.
