چکیده

In order to reduce artifacts in match metric and improve the registration speed in medical image registration, three types of improved nearest neighbor (NN) interpolators based on confidence region (CR) are studied. These improved NN interpolators include: (1) NN based on deterministic confidence region (DCR), DCRNN; (2) NN based on stochastic confidence region (SCR), SCRNN; (3) NN based on confidence region integrating deterministic information and stochastic information (DSCR), DSCRNN. The values of normalized mutual information (NMI) are deterministic and accurate at any grid translation position eywords: edical image registration nterpolation tochastic information eterministic information onfidence region when any improved NN interpolator is used. The smoothness of the NMI curves is compared by applying DCRNN, SCRNN, and DSCRNN interpolators to rigid medical image registration with different numbers of intensity bins and random variables. The results of tests show that the new DSCRNN interpolator outperforms DCRNN and SCRNN in curve smoothness and anti-micro-fluctuation, and outperforms the conditional NN, PVI and LI interpolators in convergence performance and noise immunity.

A 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...

Fast Shape-Based Nearest-Neighbor Search for Brain MRIs Using Hierarchical Feature Matching

This paper presents a fast method for quantifying shape differences/similarities between pairs of magnetic resonance (MR) brain images. Most shape comparisons in the literature require some kind of deformable registration or identification of exact correspondences. The proposed approach relies on an optimal matching of a large collection of features, using a very fast, hierarchical method from ...
