Abstract

To acquire images of a region of interest of an individual human or animal body, there are acquired (1) with a first imaging technique, a reference image of the entire region of interest and (2) with one or more further imaging techniques having a different field of view from the first imaging technique, a plurality of partial images of parts of the region of interest including parts at different positions. In respect of each partial image, there is determined a transformation which registers the respective partial image with the reference image. This allows each of the partial images to be accurately registered with each other which provides several further advantages. In many applications, there is generated a composite image combining transformations of each of the partial images.
