Title of Document: PARALLEL COMPUTATION OF NONRIGID IMAGE REGISTRATION Frances Kimpik Leung, Master of Science, 2010 Directed By: Professor Raj Shekhar, Dept of Diagnostic Radiology (University of Maryland, Baltimore) and Dept of Electrical and Computer Engineering Automatic intensity-based nonrigid image registration brings significant impact in medical applications such as multimodality fusion of images, serial comparison for monitoring disease progression or regression, and minimally invasive imageguided interventions. However, due to memory and compute intensive nature of the operations, intensity-based image registration has remained too slow to be practical for clinical adoption, with its use limited primarily to as a pre-operative too. Efficient registration methods can lead to new possibilities for development of improved and interactive intraoperative tools and capabilities. In this thesis, we propose an efficient parallel implementation for intensity-based three-dimensional nonrigid image registration on a commodity graphics processing unit. Optimization techniques are developed to accelerate the computeintensive mutual information computation. The study is performed on the hierarchical volume subdivision-based algorithm, which is inherently faster than other nonrigid registration algorithms and structurally well-suited for data-parallel computation platforms. The proposed implementation achieves more than 50-fold runtime improvement over a standard implementation on a CPU. The execution time of nonrigid image registration is reduced from hours to minutes while retaining the same level of registration accuracy. PARALLEL COMPUTATION OF NON-RIGID IMAGE REGISTRATION

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 کاملA Cost Efficient Approach for Automatic Non-Rigid Registration of Medical Images
A common approach for non-rigid medical image registration is the hierarchical image subdivision-based strategy. In this approach, images are progressively subdivided, locally registered, and elastically interpolated. Although this approach seems to be among the fastest approaches for non-rigid registration, computation time is still a real challenge. This work deals with this problem and propo...
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 کامل3D nonrigid registration via optimal mass transport on the GPU
In this paper, we present a new computationally efficient numerical scheme for the minimizing flow approach for optimal mass transport (OMT) with applications to non-rigid 3D image registration. The approach utilizes all of the gray-scale data in both images, and the optimal mapping from image A to image B is the inverse of the optimal mapping from B to A. Further, no landmarks need to be speci...
