GPU Accelerated Image Registration in Two and Three Dimensions
Medical image registration tasks of large volume datasets, especially in the non-rigid case, often put a heavy burden on computing resources. GPUs are a promising new approach to address computational intensive image processing tasks. We investigate recently introduced GPU hardware features that accelerate 2D and 3D rigid and nonrigid registration tasks. Our implementation is entirely GPU based.

The rapidly increasing performance of graphics processors, improving programming support and excellent performance-price ratio make graphics processing units (GPUs) a good option for a variety of computationally intensive tasks. Within this survey, we give an overview of GPU accelerated image registration. We address both, GPU experienced readers with an interest in accelerated image registrati...
متن کاملGraphics Processing Unit-Accelerated Nonrigid Registration of MR Images to CT Images During CT-Guided Percutaneous Liver Tumor Ablations.
RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES Accuracy and speed are essential for the intraprocedural nonrigid magnetic resonance (MR) to computed tomography (CT) image registration in the assessment of tumor margins during CT-guided liver tumor ablations. Although both accuracy and speed can be improved by limiting the registration to a region of interest (ROI), manual contouring of the ROI prolongs the registrat...
متن کاملFast parallel image registration on CPU and GPU for diagnostic classification of Alzheimer's disease
Nonrigid image registration is an important, but time-consuming task in medical image analysis. In typical neuroimaging studies, multiple image registrations are performed, i.e., for atlas-based segmentation or template construction. Faster image registration routines would therefore be beneficial. In this paper we explore acceleration of the image registration package elastix by a combination ...
متن کاملAccelerated Medical Image Registration using the Graphics Processing Unit by Daniel Henrik Adler
Registration of three-dimensional images is an important task in biomedical science. However, computational costs of 3D registration algorithms have hindered their widespread use in many clinical and research workflows. We describe an automated medical image registration framework, including a novel implementation of the mutual information similarity metric, that executes entirely on the commod...
