pre-intervention images of other modalities; incorporating registration algo-
rithms into the workstation controlling the interventional modality can make
this straightforward. Future developments in nonrigid registration algo-
rithms, discussed elsewhere in this topic, are likely to make these applicable
to MR-CT registration, which will open up many new applications, including
planning of surgery and radiotherapy outside the head.
