Par0009 - elastix

Registration Description

interpatient; B-spline transformation; mutual information

Image data

3D brain MRI, T1-weighted
IBSR public dataset (http://www.cma.mgh.harvard.edu/ibsr/)
1.5 slice thickness
Dimension: 256 x 256 x 128

Application

Registration that can be used for atlas-based segmentation of brain structures. Transformations should be saved and then applied on the atlas images to obtain a segmentation of the target image. Segmentations from different atlas images can be combined to achieve higher accuracy, as explained in [1].
