A method of mapping a chosen point in real space to its corresponding
location in image space includes obtaining a diagnostic medical image of a
subject including multiple rigid objects, and individually computing
separate transforms which register each of the rigid objects in real space
with their corresponding locations in image space. After choosing a target
point in real space, the target point is mapped to image space using a
designated transform. A number of the rigid objects are selected which are
closest to the target point in image space, and an interpolated transform
is generated from the separate transforms which correspond to the selected
rigid objects. The target point is re-mapped in image space using the
interpolated transform, and the interpolated transform is set as the
designated transform for subsequent mappings.
