A Registration Method for Multimodal Medical Images Using Contours Mutual Information
نویسندگان
چکیده
In recent years, mutual information has developed as a popular image registration measure especially in multimodality image registration. For different modality medical images, the contour of tissues or organs is similarity. In this paper, an effective new registration method of the multimodal medical images based on the contour mutual information is proposed. Firstly, get the contour through variational level set method. Secondly, within the contour pixels are assigned the same grayscale value, obtain two contour images. Finally, two contour images using mutual information as similarity measure for image registration. The experiment results show that the registration algorithm proposed in this paper can do more effectively and more accurately work than normalized mutual information and gradient mutual information. (Abstract) Keywords—contour mutual information; mutual information; multimodal medical image; image registration; variational level set method

متن کاملA 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 کاملRegistration-Based Segmentation Using the Information Bottleneck Method
We present two new clustering algorithms for medical image segmentation based on the multimodal image registration and the information bottleneck method. In these algorithms, the histogram bins of two registered multimodal 3D-images are clustered by minimizing the loss of mutual information between them. Thus, the clustering of histogram bins is driven by the preservation of the shared informat...
متن کاملA Viscous Fluid Model for Multimodal Non-rigid Image Registration Using Mutual Information
We propose a multimodal free-form registration algorithm based on maximization of mutual information. The warped image is modeled as a viscous fluid that deforms under the influence of forces derived from the gradient of the mutual information registration criterion. Parzen windowing is used to estimate the joint intensity probability of the images to be matched. The method is evaluated for non...

Medical imaging is the technique and process used to create images of the human body for clinical purposes seeking to reveal, diagnose medical science. It is often perceived to designate the set of techniques that noninvasively produce images of the internal aspect of the body. The development of multimodality methodology based on nuclear medicine (NM), positron emission tomography (PET) imagin...
