Non-Rigid Image Registration Using a Parameter-Free Elastic Model
نویسندگان
چکیده
The paper presents a new parameter-free approach to non-rigid image registration, where displacements, obtained through a mapping of boundary structures in the source and target image, are incorporated as hard constraints into elastic image deformation. As a consequence, our approach does not contain any parameters of the deformation model (elastic constants). The approach guarantees the exact correspondence of boundary structures after elastic transformation provided that correct input data are available. We describe a linear and an incremental model, the latter model allows to cope also with large deformations. Experimental results for 2-D and 3-D synthetic as well as real medical images are presented.

Two-Step Parameter-Free Elastic Image Registration with Prescribed Point Displacements
A two-step parameter-free approach for non-rigid medical image registration is presented. Displacements of boundary structures are computed in the rst step and then incorporated as hard constraints for elastic image deformation in the second step. In comparison to traditional non-parametric methods, no driving forces have to be computed from image data. The approach guarantees the exact corresp...

Image processing methods, which can visualize objects inside the human body, are of special interests. In clinical diagnosis using medical images, integration of useful data from separate images is often desired. The images have to be geometrically aligned for better observation. The procedure of mapping points from the reference image to corresponding points in the floating image is called Ima...

2 Introduction Image registration aims to spatially align one image to another and establish point-to-point correspondences between the images. It is an active and important topic of research in medical image analysis because of its numerous applications including change detection in longitudinal studies, multi-modal image fusion, motion correction in time series, image-guided intervention, ana...
متن کاملNon-rigid chest image registration with preservation of topology and rigid structures
Non-rigid image registration of chest CT images acquired at different breathing stages is often necessary in today’s medical practice. Current algorithms take little consideration of physical characteristics of the different tissues during the registration process. In earlier work, we have presented a registration framework based on the elastic transformation model that incorporated additional ...
متن کاملCompensation of brain shift during surgery using non-rigid registration of MR and ultrasound images
Background: Surgery and accurate removal of the brain tumor in the operating room and after opening the scalp is one of the major challenges for neurosurgeons due to the removal of skull pressure and displacement and deformation of the brain tissue. This displacement of the brain changes the location of the tumor relative to the MR image taken preoperatively. Methods: This study, which is done...
