Manual Image Co-Registration

When both primary and secondary image sets are imported, Elucis automatically detects their shared DICOM properties and aligns the images accordingly.

In cases where images do not align automatically—or when manual adjustment is desired to highlight specific anatomy—you can use the Image Registration tools.

1. Access the Image Registration Tools

  1. Open the Controller Menu on your non-dominant hand.

  2. Select the Images tab.

  3. You’ll see both your Primary and Secondary image sets, along with Fusion Settings at the bottom of the menu.

Fusion Settings let you:

  • Display the Primary, Secondary, or a blend of both image sets.

  • Use different blending modes to enhance anatomical visibility.

2. Open the Image Registration Panel

  1. In the Images tab, select Image Registration.

  2. On the surface plane, you’ll find two registration options for aligning the images.

Note: Adjustments only affect the secondary image set. The primary image remains fixed.

3. Use the Movement Gizmo

The Movement Gizmo provides three key tools for manual alignment:

  • Translation Tool: Move the secondary image along the X, Y, and Z axes.

  • Rotation Tool: Rotate the image around the same axes.

  • Spin Tool: Fine-tune the image orientation.

These tools allow precise manipulation to achieve perfect alignment.

4. Fine-Tune Image Positioning

For even greater accuracy, use the precision tools available on the surface plane:

  • Extra Precise Mode: Requires larger stylus movements for small positional changes.

  • 1 mm / 1° Mode: Enables movement in exact 1-millimeter or 1-degree increments.

5. Align Image Sets in 3D

To align in three dimensions:

  1. In the Images tab, enable Ghost View for both the Primary and Secondary image sets.

  2. Use the Movement Gizmo to line up visible anatomical borders on the ghosted views.

  3. Once alignment looks correct, press Save State on the surface plane.

This action locks both image sets into position.
