Abstract

The number of available imaging modalities increases both in clinical practice and in clinical studies. Even though data from multiple modalities might be available, image registration is typically only performed using data from a single modality. In this paper, we propose using certainty maps together with multi-channel diffeomorphic demons in order to improve both accuracy and robustness when performing image registration. The proposed method is evaluated using DTI data, multiple region overlap measures and a fiber bundle similarity metric.
