Abstract

We introduce a new hybrid approach for spline-based elastic registration of multimodal medical images. The approach uses point landmarks as well as intensity information based on local analytic measures for joint entropy and mutual information. The information-theoretic similarity measures are computationally efficient and can be optimized independently for each voxel. We have applied our approach to synthetic images, brain phantom images, as well as clinically relevant multimodal medical images. We also compared our measures with previous measures.
