Coarse-to-fine lungs PET-CT image registration
نویسندگان
چکیده
For the problem of image registration based on mutual information ignore global spatial information of the two images, and the lungs PET image is so fuzzy that has fewer correlations with the lungs CT image. This paper proposed a coarse-to-fine image registration method based on region information and mutual information. Experimental results show that this method can effectively to achieve lung image registration which globally aligns the chest region in PET and CT images and locally overlaps nodule lesion anatomical structure region in CT image and nodule highlighted functional area in PET image.

New Pseudo-CT Generation Approach from Magnetic Resonance Imaging using a Local Texture Descriptor
Background: One of the challenges of PET/MRI combined systems is to derive an attenuation map to correct the PET image. For that, the pseudo-CT image could be used to correct the attenuation. Until now, most existing scientific researches construct this pseudo-CT image using the registration techniques. However, these techniques suffer from the local minima of the non-rigid deformation energy f...

In this paper, we explore the PET-MRI 3D surface image registration method for the longitudinal study of cancer. Image registration gives new information to the radiologists by matching images with different modalities. The objective of this research is to develop 3D surface registration for PET/CT and MR images acquired by different medical imaging systems at different times. Our proposed meth...
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...
متن کاملImproved inter-modality image registration using normalized mutual information with coarse-binned histograms
In this paper we extend the method of inter-modality image registration using the maximization of normalized mutual information (NMI) for the registration of [18F]-2-fluoro-deoxy-D-glucose (FDG)positron emission tomography (PET) with T1-weighted magnetic resonance (MR) volumes. We investigate the impact on the NMI maximization with respect to using coarse-to-fine grained B-spline bases and to t...

The main purpose of this report is to contribute to the methodology proposed by the medical team in [Mor07] that combines information coming from PET (Positron Emission Tomography) and CT (Computed Tomography) images to locate, with a good quality and in a robust way, the tumors placed in the thoracic regions. The first step of this methodology consists in segmenting organs which are visible in...
