چکیده
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to thank my advisor Dr. Robert E. Bodenheimer for giving me the opportunity to work with him and also for guiding me through the course of my thesis work. I would also like to thank Dr. Benoit Dawant for helping me shape my work and giving valuable suggestions which helped complete this thesis. Last but not the least, I would like to express my thanks to my family especially my sister who has been with me in each step that I took, for their continuous encouragement which was essential for me to progress.

Applicability of Non-Rigid Medical Image Registration using Moving Least Squares
A drawback of the non-rigid registration is its unpredictable nature of the deformation on the target image. Mapping every point on images can cause deformations even to regions, which are expected to remain rigid. A non-rigid registration is desirable that produces only local deformations where needed, while still preserving the overall rigidity. This work focuses on one such method called the...
متن کاملA New Technique for Image Zooming Based on the Moving Least Squares
In this paper, a new method for gray-scale image and color zooming algorithm based on their local information is offered. In the proposed method, the unknown values of the new pixels on the image are computed by Moving Least Square (MLS) approximation based on both the quadratic spline and Gaussian-type weight functions. The numerical results showed that this method is more preferable to biline...
متن کاملبهبود سرعت "انطباق مبتنی بر روش برش گراف" جهت انطباق غیر صلب تصاویر تشدید مغناطیسی مغز
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...
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...
متن کاملEvaluation 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...
