Registration Use Case Library - Call for Datasets

Let us help you turn your registration problem into a success story. If you have an interesting or vexing registration problem that is not yet covered in our library, send us your case: we will try to register it for you and then add it to the library. This is a time-limited service available until October 1, 2010.

Example

• we will seek the best possible registration obtainable with the most recent version of 3DSlicer.
• the exact workflow of obtaining the registration will be available as a guided step-by-step tutorial
• the parameters for successful registration will be available as a loadable "Preset" file that you can load directly into slicer and apply on your data
• background info, such as the objective for registration, acknowledgment of the source and related research papers, will also be posted
• an example of how the final shared product will look like can be found here

Limitations/Disclaimer

• we will assist only with 3DSlicer registration software.
• this is a time-limited service, available in a first trial until October 1, 2010.
• we cannot guarantee a particular result or a specific turnaround time
• all shared datasets must be anonymized. High-resolution structural head MRI may have to apply defacing beforehand.
  • Sharing anonymized data in most cases is IRB exempt based on Code of Federal Regulations 45 CFR 46.101(b), which lists as exemption category 4:

 Research involving the collection or study of existing data, documents,
 records , pathological specimens, or diagnostic specimens, if these sources
 are publicly available or if the information is recorded by the investigator in
 such a manner that subjects cannot be identified, directly or through
 identifiers linked to the subjects.

• if your case pairing of images is already presented in the database, we expect that you have tried the approach & settings presented there already. If to no avail we will gladly consider it.

Procedure

Here's how to get started:

• 1. if you have not yet done so, browse/search the Registration Case Library for a scenario similar to yours. If you find one matching in organ, modality and contrast, try out the parameter settings and procedures suggested there. If that fails, go to step 2.
• 2. Drop us a line with the following info: the type of data you have and the registration objective (incl. time constraints if you have any)
