A Parameterization of Deformation Fields for Diffeomorphic Image Registration and Its Application to Myocardial Delineation
نویسندگان
چکیده
This study investigates a new parameterization of deformation fields for image registration. Instead of standard displacements, this parameterization describes a deformation field with its transformation Jacobian and curl of end velocity field. It has two important features which make it appealing to image registration: 1) it relaxes the need of an explicit regularization term and the corresponding ad hoc weight in the cost functional; 2) explicit constraints on transformation Jacobian such as topology preserving and incompressibility constraints are straightforward to impose in a unified framework. In addition, this parameterization naturally describes a deformation field in terms of radial and rotational components, making it especially suited for processing cardiac data. We formulate diffeomorphic image registration as a constrained optimization problem which we solve with a step-then-correct strategy. The effectiveness of the algorithm is demonstrated with several examples and a comprehensive evaluation of myocardial delineation over 120 short-axis cardiac cine MRIs acquired from 20 subjects. It shows competitive performance in comparison to two recent segmentation based approaches.

متن کاملFast Predictive Image Registration
We present a method to predict image deformations based on patch-wise image appearance. Specifically, we design a patch-based deep encoder-decoder network which learns the pixel/voxel-wise mapping between image appearance and registration parameters. Our approach can predict general deformation parameterizations, however, we focus on the large deformation diffeomorphic metric mapping (LDDMM) re...
متن کاملExplicit B-spline regularization in diffeomorphic image registration
Diffeomorphic mappings are central to image registration due largely to their topological properties and success in providing biologically plausible solutions to deformation and morphological estimation problems. Popular diffeomorphic image registration algorithms include those characterized by time-varying and constant velocity fields, and symmetrical considerations. Prior information in the f...
متن کاملGroupwise and Local Analysis of Image Warps
Most non-rigid image registration algorithms are based on aligning pairs of images, but there has been recent interest in groupwise algorithms, which enable the registration of a set of images into a single common frame of reference. The set of deformation fields obtained from such a registration contains information about the variability of structures across the group, meaning that the quantit...
متن کاملComparing algorithms for diffeomorphic registration: Stationary LDDMM and Diffeomorphic Demons
The stationary parameterization of diffeomorphisms is being increasingly used in computational anatomy. In certain applications it provides similar results to the non-stationary parameterization alleviating the computational charge. With this characterization for diffeomorphisms, two different registration algorithms have been recently proposed: stationary LDDMM and diffeomorphic Demons. To our...
