Abstract:

A method of fusing 2D and 3D imaging data includes receiving 3D imaging data and 2D color imaging data of a region of interest, segmenting the 3D imaging data to identify anatomical features in the region of interest, including surfaces of the anatomical features and a corresponding volume of the anatomical features, and generating an image by fusing the 2D color imaging data to the 3D imaging data according to the surfaces, the corresponding volumes, and identities of the anatomical features. In some cases, the 3D imaging data is captured via optical coherence tomography. In some cases, the 2D color imaging data is captured via color microscopy. In some cases, the method further includes rendering a final image at an output plane by casting a ray through the fused 3D imaging data for each pixel and viewpoint of the output image plane for the image.
