DTHB3D Reg: Dynamic Truncated Hierarchical B-Spline Based 3D Nonrigid Image Registration
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a robust approach to perform 3D nonrigid image registration suitable for large deformation and topology change, and develop a software package named DTHB3D Reg (Dynamic Truncated Hierarchical B-spline based 3D Image Registration). The optimum spatial transformation, defined using truncated hierarchical B-splines, is obtained through the minimization of an energy functional. The optimization process minimizes sum of squared difference in the intensity values of the grayscale images. Control points are dynamically updated without constructing large matrices as in finite element method. To improve the computational efficiency, an adaptive strategy carries out refinement only in the regions with large deformation. The proposed method is demonstrated on 3D synthetic and medical images to show robustness on topology change as compared to other image registration methods. AMS subject classifications: 65K10, 65K05

متن کاملNonrigid registration of dynamic medical imaging data using nD + t B-splines and a groupwise optimization approach
A registration method for motion estimation in dynamic medical imaging data is proposed. Registration is performed directly on the dynamic image, thus avoiding a bias towards a specifically chosen reference time point. Both spatial and temporal smoothness of the transformations are taken into account. Optionally, cyclic motion can be imposed, which can be useful for visualization (viewing the s...

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...
