摘要
We present a new non-rigid registration algorithm estimating the displacement field generated by articulated bodies. Indeed the bony structures between different patient images may rigidly move while other tissues may deform in a more complex way. Our algorithm tracks the displacement induced in the column by a movement of the patient between two acquisitions. The volumetric deformation field in the whole body is then inferred from those displacements using a linear elastic biomechanical finite element model. We demonstrate in this paper that this method provides accurate results on 3D sets of computed tomography (CT), MR and positron emission tomography (PET) images and that the results of the registration algorithm show significant decreases in the mean, min and max errors.
