Mutual Information-Based Methods to Improve Local Region-of-Interest Image Registration
نویسندگان
چکیده
Current methods of multimodal image registration usually seek to maximize the similarity measure of mutual information (MI) between two images over their region of overlap. In applications such as planned radiation therapy, a diagnostician is more concerned with registration over specific regions of interest (ROI) than registration of the global image space. Registration of the ROI can be unreliable because the typically small regions have limited statistics and thus poor estimates of entropies. We examine methods to improve ROI-based registration by using information from the global image space.

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 کاملMutual Information Based Methods to Localize Image Registration
Modern medicine has become reliant on medical imaging. Multiple modalities, e.g. magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computed tomography (CT), etc., are used to provide as much information about the patient as possible. The problem of geometrically aligning the resulting images is called image registration. Mutual information, an information theoretic similarity measure, allows for automated inte...

The power and validity of voxel based and tensor based morphometry methods depend on the accuracy of the brain image registration algorithms they employ. We propose a mutual information based quantitative evaluation method to compare the performance of two publicly available deformable registration packages: HAMMER and algorithms in the ITK package (FEM-Demons) The advantage of our approach is ...
متن کاملAutomatic Registration of Airborne Images with Complex Local Distortion
Accurate registration of airborne images is challenging because complex local geometric distortions are often involved in image acquisition. In this paper, we propose a solution to this registration problem in two parts. First, we present an area-based method to extract sufficient numbers of well-located control points, and second, we use the extracted control points with local transformation m...
