Background: Medical image interpolation is recently introduced as a helpful tool to obtain further information via initial available images taken by tomography systems. To do this, deformable image registration algorithms are mainly utilized to perform image interpolation using tomography images.Materials and Methods: In this work, 4DCT thoracic images of five real patients provided by DI...

This article looks at Skilling’s nested sampling from a physical perspective and interprets it as a microcanonical demon algorithm. Using key quantities of statistical physics we investigate the performance of nested sampling on complex systems such as Ising, Potts and protein models. We show that releasing multiple demons helps to smooth the truncated prior and eases sampling from it because t...

We present a new approach for non-rigid surface-registration of 3D objects. By representing the surfaces as the zero-level of a signed distance function in 3D space, our algorithm becomes independent of topology. We propose an extension of Thirion’s Demons algorithm to register the distance images. Our extension includes the use of a curvature term to guide the registration in the direction tan...
