Small animal studies are not always acquired in perfectly controlled conditions. This leads to reconstructed images that sometimes are ill-positioned: the animal is rotated or translated from the expected position. The study must be reoriented using a manual rSmall animal studies are not always acquired in perfectly controlled conditions. This leads to reconstructed images that sometimes are ill-positioned: the animal is rotated or translated from the expected position. The study must be reoriented using a manual reformatting tool until the result has the desired orientation or position.
To avoid this manual step, we propose a totally automatic procedure making use of the image principal axes and centroid, combined with an auto-registration process. The result is a correctly positioned study[+][-]
