Initialization methods for 2D/3D registration of medical images during Orthopedic surgeries

2D/3D registration is the process of aligning 3D volume data to a 2D image. Typically, during orthopedic trauma surgeries, 3D volume data is acquired prior to the surgery to visualize the extent of the injury and also plan the operation. During the surgery, 2D fluoroscopic images are acquired to visualize the position of surgical instruments and...
