Home < BRAINSFit to simpleITK

Goal

We are developing registration tools 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 implementation (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 can be found here.

Current status

Registration code on github: here

Latest update: April 28, 2015

Thins that are working:

  • exhaustive search based initialization procedure implemented and produces good results (cross-correlation metric)
  • SimpleITK code for rigid+affine registration is done

Things that are implemented, but are not working:

Things that are not implemented, but need to be implemented:

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
