Abstract

Multi-modal image registration is the primary step in integrating information stored in two or more images, which are captured using multiple imaging modalities. In addition to intensity variations and structural differences between images, they may have partial or full overlap, which adds an extra hurdle to the success of registration process. In this contribution, we propose a multi-modal to mono-modal transformation method that facilitates direct application of well-founded mono-modal registration methods in order to obtain accurate alignment of multi-modal images in both cases, with complete (full) and incomplete (partial) overlap. The proposed transformation facilitates recovering strong scales, rotations, and translations. We explain the method thoroughly and discuss the choice of parameters. For evaluation purposes, the effectiveness of the proposed method is examined and compared with widely used information theory-based techniques using simulated and clinical human brain images with full data. Using RIRE dataset, mean absolute error of 1.37, 1.00, and 1.41 mm are obtained for registering CT images with PD-, T1-, and T2-MRIs, respectively. In the end, we empirically investigate the efficacy of the proposed transformation in registering multi-modal partially overlapped images.

  • Multimodal image alignment provides spatial mapping between images taken by sensors of different modalities and can be categorized into feature-based and patch-based methods.

    “Specifically, multimodal image alignment provides a spatial mapping capability between images taken by sensors of different modalities, which may be categorized into feature-based [167, 168] and patch-based [165, 166] methods.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
