TIBM: Registration

Registration is a crucial step in medical image processing. Registration may be mono- or multimodal, rigid (intra-patient) or deformable (inter-patient) and may involve two or more images. Thus, we have proposed a deformable registration method for jointly mapping of a set of images 2-NHHA12, which is a necessary prerequisite for conducting population studies. A registration algorithm dedicated to retinal images has also been developed 2-FLP11. Contributions were made for the non-rigid registration of binary images 2-GNKF12 as well as for the warping of binary images under topological constraints 2-FPNC11. The problem of warping 4th order tensor fields was also tackled 4-GRNH11, the 4th order tensor being a mathematical model used in diffusion MRI to represent fiber crossings. Estimating non-rigid registration between two exams of a given subject is an interesting tool for the quantification of cerebral atrophy over time. In this context, a method was proposed for estimating the uncertainty in atrophy quantification using a Bayesian framework 2-SRHR13.
