Discussion: Registration Challenges
- the original DICOM files of the MRI have image orientation data stripped. Hence the volume does not load in correct orientation and needs to be adjusted
- the two series have different voxel sizes
- image content is very different in the PET
Discussion: Key Strategies
- we use the Volumes module to adjust the MRI voxel size based on the info in the DICOM header
- we use the Transforms module to reorient the MRI along the proper axes
- Register Images is used to automatically align the PET with the MRI
