[Insight-users] Multi Modality Image Co Registration

[Bill Lorensen]

No. You do not need to perform an MPR. You may have to translate if
they are not landmarked the same. By landmark, I mean the zero
position they set in the exam. For instance in a head exam, they may
landmark at the bridge of the nose.
