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...
متن کاملRobust multimodality registration for brain mapping.
We present a robust intrasubject registration method for the synergistic use of multiple neuroimaging modalities, with applications to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), functional MRI, perfusion MRI, MR spectroscopy, and single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT). This method allows user-friendly processing of difficult examinations (low spatial resolution, advanced pathology, motion du...
متن کاملA Novel Technique for Prealignment in Multimodality Medical Image Registration
Image pair is often aligned initially based on a rigid or affine transformation before a deformable registration method is applied in medical image registration. Inappropriate initial registration may compromise the registration speed or impede the convergence of the optimization algorithm. In this work, a novel technique was proposed for prealignment in both monomodality and multimodality imag...
متن کاملBayesian Multimodality Non-rigid Image Registration via Conditional Density Estimation
We present a Bayesian multimodality non-rigid image registration method. Since the likelihood is unknown in the general multimodality setting, we use a density estimator as a drop in replacement to the true likelihood. The prior is a standard small deformation penalty on the displacement field. Since mutual information-based methods are in widespread use for multimodality registration, we attem...
متن کاملGlobal optimization of weighted mutual information for multimodality image registration
Failure to align images accurately often is due to the optimization algorithm being trapped in local maxima or spurious global maxima of the mutual information function. Strategies contemplated to improve registration involve modifying the optimization scheme or the registration measure itself. We recently found that normalized mutual information (for 2D image registration) provides a larger ca...
