Non-rigid Registration of Breast MR Images Using Mutual Information
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a new approach for the non-rigid registration of contrastenhanced breast MRI using normalised mutual information. A hierarchical transformation model of the motion of the breast has been developed: The global motion of the breast is modelled using affine transformation models while the local motion of the breast is modelled using spline-based free-form deformation (FFD) models. The algorithm has been applied to the fully automated registration of 3D breast MRI. In particular, we have compared the results of the proposed nonrigid registration algorithm to those obtained using rigid and affine registration techniques. The results clearly indicate that the non-rigid registration algorithm is much better able to recover the motion and deformation of the breast than rigid or affine registration algorithms.

Compensation 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 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...

In this paper we present a new approach for the non-rigid registration of contrast-enhanced breast MRI. A hierarchical transformation model of the motion of the breast has been developed: The global motion of the breast is modelled by an a ne transformation while the local breast motion is described by a free-form deformation (FFD) based on B-splines. Normalised mutual information is used as a ...
متن کاملIntensity-Based Volumetric Registration of Contrast-Enhanced MR Breast Images
In this paper, we propose a fast intensity-based registration algorithm for the analysis of contrast-enhanced breast MR images. Motion between pre-contrast and post-contrast images has been modeled by a combination of rigid transformation and free-form deformation. By modeling the conditional probability function to be Gaussian and considering the normalized mutual information (NMI) criterion, ...
