چکیده

In this paper, we present a framework that one could use to set optimized parameter values, while performing image registration using mutual information as a metric to be maximized. Our experiment details these steps for the registration of X-ray Computer Tomography (CT) images with Positron Emission Tomography (PET) images. Selection of different parameters that influence the mutual information between two images is crucial for both accuracy and speed of registration. These implementation issues need to be handled in an orderly fashion by designing experiments in their operating ranges. The conclusions from this study seem vital towards obtaining allowable parameter range for a fusion software.

A 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...

Towards Real-Time Multi-Modality 3-D Medical Image Registration

Intensity value-based registration is a widely used technique for the spatial alignment of medical images. Generally, the registration transformation is determined by iteratively optimizing a similarity measure calculated from the grey values of both images. However, such algorithms may have high computational costs, especially in the case of multi-modality registration, which makes their integ...
