Rigid and Deformable Vasculature-to-Image Registration: A Hierarchical Approach
نویسندگان
چکیده
Several recent studies demonstrate the potential of using tubular structures such as vessels as a basis for image registration. In this paper, we present a novel technique for the deformable registration of tubular structures. Our approach aligns tubular models, e.g. vessels of an organ, with an image by combining both rigid and non-rigid transformations in a hierarchical manner. The physical structure and properties of the vessels are taken into account to drive the registration process. Our model-to-image registration method shows sub-voxel accuracy as well as robustness to noise and a convergence time of less than one minute.

Evaluation of deformable image registration in HDR gynecological brachytherapy
Introduction: In brachytherapy, as in external radiotherapy, image-guidance plays an important role. For GYN treatments it is standard to acquire at least CT images and preferably MR images prior to each treatment and to calculate the dose of the day on each set of images. Then, the dose to the target and to the organs at risk (OAR) is calculated with worst case scenario from I...

In this work, thirteen image-pairs, composed of a color fundus photograph and a scanning laser ophthalmoscope fluorescein angiography (SLO.FA), were registered by rigid, non-rigid and deformable image registration procedures to assess the need for deformable image registration methods when using SLO.FAmodalities. Each registration was quantitatively assessed by three different metrics that show...
متن کاملA Robust and Accurate Non-rigid Medical Image Registration Algorithm Based on Multi-level Deformable Model
Background Compared to the rigid image registration task, the non-rigid image registration task faces much more challenges due to its high degree of freedom and inherent requirement of smoothness in the deformation field. The purpose was to propose an efficient coarse-to-fine non-rigid medical image registration algorithm based on a multilevel deformable model. Methods In this paper, a robust...

Medical imaging applications of rigid and non-rigid elastic deformable image registration are undergoing wide scale development. Our approach determines image deformation maps through a hierarchical process, from global to local scales. Vemuri (2000) reported a registration method, based on levelset evolution theory, to morph an image along the motion gradient until it deforms to the reference ...
