Rigid registration
Non-rigid registration
Applications
Registration
Monomodality:
Multimodality:
q = (912,632)
p = (825,856)
Pixel location in first image
q = T(p;a)
Homologous pixel location in
second image
q = (912,632)
p = (825,856)
Image Registration
Define a transform T that will map
one image onto another image of the
same object such that some image
quality criterion is maximized.
A mapping between two images both
spatially and with respect to intensity
I2 = g (T(I1))

Geometry Transformation
Image Coordinate transform:
The features (dimension, voxel size, slice spacing, gantry
tilt, orientation) of images, which are acquired from
different modalities, are not the same.
From voxel units (column, row, slice spacing) to
millimeter units with its origin in the center of the image
volume.

Multi-resolution
Why Multi-resolution
Methods for detecting optimality can not guarantee that
a global optimal value will be found.
Time to evaluate the registration criterion is proportional
to the number of voxels.

of CT-MR images.

Mammography
Breast cancer is the second leading cause
of death among women in USA.
Detected in its early stage, breast cancer
is most treatable.
Mammography is the main tool for
detection and diagnosis of breast
malignances.
It reduces breast cancer mortality by 25%
to 30% for women in the 50 to 70 age
group
