Robust and Fast Medical Registration of 3D-Multi-Modality Data Sets

چکیده
A fully-automatic approach to volume registration based on global information content is described. In a nutshell this task represents an optimization problem that has been solved with respect to robustness and computational speed especially. Strong attention has been paid to the choice of an optimized function that measure the quality of the registration (Mutual Information), to the choice of an optimization strategy that searches for a global optimum of the function in a parametric space (Adaptive Simulated Annealing), and to the efficient way of registration procedure implementation that includes region-of-interest segmentation, multi-resolution strategy and an incremental approach to volume resampling.

Utilizing Salient Region Features for 3D Multi-modality Medical Image Registration
Besides common solely intensityor feature-based image registration methods, hybrid approaches make use of two or more image properties. A 3D representation of saliency can be used to automatically locate distinct region features within two 3D images and establish a robust and accurate hybrid registration method. The extracted features contain information about the underlying saliency, the scale...
متن کاملIntra-subject elastic registration of 3D ultrasound images
3D registration of ultrasound images is an important and fast-growing research area with various medical applications, such as image-guided radiotherapy and surgery. However, this registration process remains extremely challenging due to the deformation of soft tissue and the existence of speckles in these images. This paper presents a technique for intra-subject, intra-modality elastic registr...

متن کاملHistopathology in 3D: From 3D Reconstruction to Multi-stain and Multi-modal Analysis
Light Microscopy applied to the domain of histopathology has traditionally been a two dimensional imaging modality. Several authors, including the authors of this work, have extended the use of Digital Microscopy to three dimensions by stacking digital images of serial sections using image based registration. In this paper we give an overview of our approach, and of extensions to the approach t...
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...
