applications there is a need for integration of the information obtained, as different modalities usually provide complementary information. Complete comprehension of a medical case in clinician's mind is facilitated by an integrated multimodal approach. Combining the diverse sources of information is difficult, not only because of the distinct physical reality represented by each technique, but especially because of the variations in patient positioning during the various studies and the use of different parameters for slice thickness, interslice gap, pixel size and angulation. This paper presents a patient-friendly matching method for brain studies of different modalities. The method, based on skin markers, supports CT, MRI, singlephoton emission CT (SPECT), electroencephalographic (EEG) and magnetoencephalographic (MEG) studies and requires no special patient positioning. The design of the marker allows high-accuracy matching even in images with large slice spacing. At the University Hospital Utrecht marker-guided matching is applied in clinical protocols concerning epilepsy surgery planning, brain ischaemia, and rolandic epilepsy in childhood. Some examples of these applications are presented to illustrate the feasibility of the matching method. Detailed results on those clinical studies will be described in future papers.
