Incorporation of Landmark Error Ellipsoids for Image Registration Basedon
نویسنده
چکیده
We present an approach for elastic registration of 3D tomographic images which is based on a set of corresponding anatomical point landmarks and takes into account anisotropic landmark localization errors in form of 3D error ellipsoids. The 3D error ellipsoids are directly estimated from the image data. The performance of our approach is demonstrated for 2D and 3D MR images of the human brain.

Incorporation of Landmark Error Ellipsoids for Image Registration Based on Approximating Thin-Plate Splines
Nonrigid registration of 3D tomographic images of di erent modalities (e.g., CT and MR images) is a key issue for neurosurgery and radiotherapy planning. Here, we consider image registration based on a set of corresponding anatomical point landmarks and approximating thin-plate splines. With this approach it is possible to take into account landmark localization errors and thus to control the i...
متن کاملImage Registration Based on Thin-Plate Splines and Local Estimates of Anisotropic Landmark Localization Uncertainties
We present an approach to elastic registration of tomographic brain images which is based on thin plate splines and takes into account landmark errors The inclusion of error information is important in clin ical applications since landmark extraction is always prone to error In comparison to previous work our approach can cope with anisotropic er rors which is signi cantly more realistic than d...
متن کاملCalculation of the confidence intervals for transformation parameters in the registration of medical images
Images from different individuals typically cannot be registered precisely because anatomical features within the images differ across the people imaged and because the current methods for image registration have inherent technological limitations that interfere with perfect registration. Quantifying the inevitable error in image registration is therefore of crucial importance in assessing the ...
متن کاملLandmark and Intensity-Based, Consistent Thin-Plate Spline Image Registration
Landmark-based thin-plate spline image registration is one of the most commonly used methods for non-rigid medical image registration and anatomical shape analysis. It is well known that this method does not produce a unique correspondence between two images away from the landmark locations because interchanging the role of source and target landmarks does not produce forward and reverse transf...
متن کاملComparative in vitro study of contact- and image-based rigid registration for computer-aided surgery.
We present an in vitro study of rigid registration methods for computer-aided surgery. The goals of the study were to obtain accuracy measures empirically under optimal laboratory conditions, and to identify the weak links in the registration chain. Specifically, we investigated two common registration methods (contact-based registration and image-based landmark registration) and established a ...
