Hybrid Spline-Based Multimodal Registration Using a Local Measure for Mutual Information
نویسندگان
چکیده
We introduce a new hybrid approach for spline-based elastic registration of multimodal medical images. The approach uses point landmarks as well as intensity information based on local analytic measures for mutual information. The intensity similarity metrics are computationally efficient and can be optimized independently for each voxel. We have successfully applied our approach to synthetic images, brain phantom images, as well as real multimodal medical images.

Comparison of Popular Non-Rigid Image Registration Techniques and a New Hybrid Mutual Information-Based Fluid Algorithm
Recently there has emerged a need to compute multimodal non-rigid registrations in a lot of clinical applications. To date, the viscous fluid algorithm is perhaps the most adept method at recovering large local misregistrations that exist between two images. However, this model can only be used on images from the same modality as it assumes similar intensity values between images. This paper pr...

متن کاملHybrid Multimodal Registration of Carotid Magnetic Resonance and Ultrasound Images Using Free-Form Deformation
In this work, a hybrid approach for the multimodal registration of carotid magnetic resonance and ultrasound images is described. Multimodal registration is vital for integrating or fusing complementary information from different sources into a composite form. It will provide synergistic information about the objects under examination and thus, help in the assessment of carotid artery disease. ...
متن کاملGeneral Multimodal Elastic Registration Based on Mutual Information
Recent studies indicate that maximizing the mutual information of the joint histogram of two images is an accurate and robust way to rigidly register two monoor multimodal images. Using mutual information for registration directly in a local manner is often not admissible owing to the weakened statistical power of the local histogram compared to a global one. We propose to use a global joint hi...
متن کاملMedical image registration using Edgeworth-based approximation of Mutual Information
We propose a new similarity measure for iconic medical image registration, an Edgeworth-based third order approximation of Mutual Information (MI) and named 3-EMI. Contrary to classical Edgeworth-based MI approximations, such as those proposed for independent component analysis, the 3-EMI measure is able to deal with potentially correlated variables. The performance of 3-EMI is then evaluated a...
