A new approach to the problem of multimodality medical image registration is proposed,
using a basic concept from information theory, mutual information (MI), or relative entropy, as …

This paper presents a method for the coregistration and partitioning (ie, tissue segmentation)
of brain images that have been acquired in different modalities. The basic idea is that …

Purpose: The primary objective of this study is to perform a blinded evaluation of a group of
retrospective image registration techniques using as a gold standard a prospective, marker …

Describes an extrinsic-point-based, interactive image-guided neurosurgical system
designed at Vanderbilt University, Nashville, TN, as part of a collaborative effort among the …

This article concerns the integration of functional and anatomical volumetric brain images.
Integration consists of two steps: matching or registration, where the images are brought into …

In routine clinical work, registration accuracy is assessed by visual inspection. However, the
accuracy of visual assessment of registration has not been evaluated. This study establishes …

It is becoming increasingly common for surgical navigation systems to be used
intraoperatively to enable the surgeon to ascertain his or her position within the patient with …

The majority of the available rigid registration measures are based on a 2-dimensional
histogram of corresponding grey-values in the registered images. This paper shows that …

This paper describes a validation approach for (interactive) anatomical landmark registration
of CT and MR images. Eleven MR-CT image pairs were used, four of which had been …

Interventional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) offers potential advantages over
conventional interventional modalities such as X-ray fluoroscopy, ultrasonography, and …
