Elastic Medical Image Registration Based on Image Intensity
نویسندگان
چکیده
A two-step elastic medical image registration approach is proposed, which is based on the image intensity. In the first step, the global affine medical image registration is used to establish one-to-one mapping between the two images to be registered. After this first step, the images are registered up to small local elastic deformation. Then the mapped images are used as inputs in the second step, during which, the study image is modeled as elastic sheet by being divided into several subimages. Moving the individual subimage in the reference image, the local displacement vectors are found and the global elastic transformation is achieved by assimilating all of the local transformation into a continuous transformation. This algorithm has been tested on both simulated and tomographic images.

Evaluation of deformable image registration in HDR gynecological brachytherapy
Introduction: In brachytherapy, as in external radiotherapy, image-guidance plays an important role. For GYN treatments it is standard to acquire at least CT images and preferably MR images prior to each treatment and to calculate the dose of the day on each set of images. Then, the dose to the target and to the organs at risk (OAR) is calculated with worst case scenario from I...
متن کاملA Novel Subsampling Method for 3D Multimodality Medical Image Registration Based on Mutual Information
Mutual information (MI) is a widely used similarity metric for multimodality image registration. However, it involves an extremely high computational time especially when it is applied to volume images. Moreover, its robustness is affected by existence of local maxima. The multi-resolution pyramid approaches have been proposed to speed up the registration process and increase the accuracy of th...
متن کاملNon-parametric Image Registration Using Generalized Elastic Nets
We introduce a novel approach for non-parametric non-rigid image registration using generalized elastic nets. The concept behind the algorithm is to adapt an elastic net in spatial-intensity space of one image to fit the second image. The resulting configuration of the net, when it achieves its minimum energy state, directly represents correspondence between images in a probabilistic sense and ...
متن کاملSurface reconstruction of detect contours for medical image registration purpose
Although, most of the abnormal structures of human brain do not alter the shape of outer envelope of brain (surface), some abnormalities can deform the surface extensively. However, this may be a major problem in a surface-based registration technique, since two nearly identical surfaces are required for surface fitting process. A type of verification known as the circularity check for th...

A novel elastic image registration approach is proposed, which can register both 2D medical images and gel electrophoresis automatically and accurately. Firstly, the global affine registration method based on image intensity is used to initialise a starting estimation of the robust registration algorithm. Then, by using iterative landmark based algorithm, the affine registration results are reg...
