EP-2359: Comparing lung dose parametres between rigid and non-rigid registration in advance stage lung cancer

Lung Deformation Estimation with Non-rigid Registration for Radiotherapy Treatment

A main challenge in radiotherapy is to precisely take into account organs deformation and motion in order to adapt the treatment to each patient. This is particularly important in lung cancer where breathing leads to large displacements. In this work, breath holding techniques (with Active Breath Control device) were used to reduce movements during treatment. We study thorax and lung deformatio...

Non-Rigid Image Registration

An important hypothesis of the research reported in this paper is that dynamic space warping (DSW), a dynamic programming (DP) technique (Bellman 1965, Brown 1996), can be effectively used for object matching and for inference of the image registration warping function. For this end, a novel, robust, and efficient method for non-rigid image registration using DSW in the “length–code” domain is ...

Towards fast non-rigid registration

A fast multiscale and multigrid method for the matching of images in 2D and 3D is presented. Especially in medical imaging this problem denoted as the registration problem is of fundamental importance in the handling of images from multiple image modalities or of image time series. The paper restricts to the simplest matching energy to be minimized, i.e., , where , are the intensity maps of the...

Non-Rigid Morphological Image Registration

Non-rigid Registration Using Morphons

The Morphon, a non-rigid registration method is presented and applied to a number of registration applications. The algorithm takes a protoype image (or volume) and morphs it into a target image using an iterative, multi-resolution technique. The deformation process is done in three steps: displacement estimation, deformation field accumulation and deformation. The framework could be described ...
