In recent years, tremendous progress has been made in surgical practice for example with
Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS). To overcome challenges coming from deported eye-to …

Registration of pre-and intra-interventional data is one of the key technologies for image-
guided radiation therapy, radiosurgery, minimally invasive surgery, endoscopy, and …

Radiological images are increasingly being used in healthcare and medical research. There
is, consequently, widespread interest in accurately relating information in the different …

A new approach is presented for elastic registration of medical images, and is applied to
magnetic resonance images of the brain. Experimental results demonstrate very high …

We present an algorithm for fast elastic multidimensional intensity-based image registration
with a parametric model of the deformation. It is fully automatic in its default mode of …

Mutual information (MI) has emerged in recent years as an effective similarity measure for
comparing images. One drawback of MI, however, is that it is calculated on a pixel by pixel …

Layered manufacturing (LM) has evolved from the rapid prototyping (RP) method to a
mainstream process for manufacturing high precision parts for aerospace, automotive and …

The objective of the current study was to use fluoroscopy to accurately determine the three-
dimensional (3D), in vivo, weight-bearing kinematics of 10 normal and five anterior cruciate …

A method was developed for registering three-dimensional knee implant models to single
plane X-ray fluoroscopy images. We use a direct image-to-image similarity measure, taking …

The authors have evaluated eight different similarity measures used for rigid body
registration of serial magnetic resonance (MR) brain scans. To assess their accuracy the …
