Typically users want to create new pages that are linked to existing pages. Sometimes users also think of this as wanting to create a new link in the wiki. Same thing. New pages are created in wikis, and then those are linked to existing pages. For example, you may want to create a page for a meeting you are hosting on Jan 10th, 2006, and put a link to that meeting page in the AMIGO page. Or you may think that you want to create a new link for your Jan 10th, 2006 meeting from the AMIGO page. Here is how you will make this happen:

Goal

We are developing registration module in Slicer version 4 (which is using ITKv4) for deformable registration of prostate MRI.

We want to develop a SimpleITK prostate registration tool in Slicer4/ITKv4. This Slicer4/ITKv4 registration tool should be functional, accurate and fast (i.e., comparable with the the functionality we had in Slicer3/ITKv3, which has been evaluated previously [1]).

Details on the registration approach

Registration is applied to align preprocedural and intraoperational MR T2 image volumes. We are using masks the prostate for both image data sets. Registration is done using MMI metric with rigid, affine and B-spline stages applied in sequence. In Slicer3/BRAINSFit we use gradient descent for rigid/affine, and LBFGS for B-spline.

Parameters we are using to call BRAINSFit in Slicer 3.6 can be found here.

Sample data can be found here.

Latest update: April 28, 2015

Things that are working

  • exhaustive search based initialization procedure implemented and produces good results (cross-correlation metric)

Things that are implemented, but are not working

  • SimpleITK code for rigid registration
    • the voxel sampling exception can be avoided by cropping the images sharply around the masks.
Fixed Volume as Reference
SimpleITK result after Initialization
SimpleITK result after rigid registration
BRAINSFit result after rigid without using masks and --useCenterOfGeometryAlign
    • The rigid registration result is too much rotated and translated. Also the number of iteration steps varies with every computation. Reason might be that seed is set randomized and not set as done in BRAINSFit here. There is no option at the SimpleITK::ImageRegistrationMethod to set a metric seed.

Things that are not implemented, but need to be implemented

  • SimpleITK code for affine registration
    • setting affineOptimizer here
    • setting RegistrationMethod here
  • SimpleITK code for BSpline registration (started here)

Unresolved issues out of our direct control

Standing SimpleITK issues

  • no API for consistent initialization of the metric seed

Standing ITKv4 issues

Standing Slicer4 issues
