Diffeomorphic demons and the EMPIRE10 challenge
نویسندگان
چکیده
The registration of thoracic images is a common but still challenging problem with critical clinical applications (e.g. radiotherapy and diagnosis). In the context of the EMPIRE10 challenge, we briefly introduce in this paper our registration method based on the diffeomorphic demons algorithm. Although fully automatic and generic (applies to a large variety of images such as brain or thoracic CT scans), the proposed method appears to be a very efficient registration method.

Diffeomorphic demons: Efficient non-parametric image registration
We propose an efficient non-parametric diffeomorphic image registration algorithm based on Thirion's demons algorithm. In the first part of this paper, we show that Thirion's demons algorithm can be seen as an optimization procedure on the entire space of displacement fields. We provide strong theoretical roots to the different variants of Thirion's demons algorithm. This analysis predicts a th...
متن کاملNon-parametric Diffeomorphic Image Registration with the Demons Algorithm
We propose a non-parametric diffeomorphic image registration algorithm based on Thirion's demons algorithm. The demons algorithm can be seen as an optimization procedure on the entire space of displacement fields. The main idea of our algorithm is to adapt this procedure to a space of diffeomorphic transformations. In contrast to many diffeomorphic registration algorithms, our solution is compu...
متن کاملDiffeomorphic Registration of Images with Variable Contrast Enhancement
Nonrigid image registration is widely used to estimate tissue deformations in highly deformable anatomies. Among the existing methods, nonparametric registration algorithms such as optical flow, or Demons, usually have the advantage of being fast and easy to use. Recently, a diffeomorphic version of the Demons algorithm was proposed. This provides the advantage of producing invertible displacem...
متن کاملEvaluation of GMI and PMI diffeomorphic‐based demons algorithms for aligning PET and CT Images
Fusion of anatomic information in computed tomography (CT) and functional information in 18F-FDG positron emission tomography (PET) is crucial for accurate differentiation of tumor from benign masses, designing radiotherapy treatment plan and staging of cancer. Although current PET and CT images can be acquired from combined 18F-FDG PET/CT scanner, the two acquisitions are scanned separately an...
متن کاملAn ITK Implementation of the Symmetric Log-Domain Diffeomorphic Demons Algorithm
This article provides an implementation of the symmetric log-domain diffeomorphic image registration algorithm, or symmetric demons algorithm for short. It generalizes Thirion’s demons and the diffeomorphic demons algorithm. The main practical advantages of the symmetric demons with respect to the other demons variants is that is provides the inverse of the spatial transformation at no addition...
