Non-rigid medical image registration based on improved Demons algorithm
Non-rigid registration is one of the important research issues in medical image processing field. An intensity-based automatic deformable image registration algorithm
known as the "Demons" algorithm
only depends on the image intensity gradients of the reference image to drive the floating image transform
it easily results in wrong registration when gradients are small
even being zeros. Moreover
this algorithm is not fit for the registration of multi-modality images. So
an improved "Demons" algorithm is proposed in this paper. The method adds additional external force based on the fact that the two images can make the mutual information between them maximal
and the force is defined as the gradient of mutual information between the two images with respect to the deformation field. Moreover
to avoid local extrema and speed up the registration process
the algorithm is performed in a multi-resolution manner. Experiments are conducted with both mono-modality and multi-modality images
the results show that this improved method can get a accurate registration transformation quickly.
