v3.6.1 Slicer3-6Announcement-v1.png Slicer Registration Library Case #11:
Co-registration of two anatomic brain atlases for merging of structure labels

Input

this is the fixed reference image. All images are aligned into this space this is the fixed target, a label-map in the same space as the fixed reference. The registration target is derived from this image lleft this is the moving image, but the transform is calculated by matching surfaces derived from the labelmaps this is the moving image to which the calculated transform is applied. The model surfaces used to calculate the transform are derived from this image
Target Atlas T1 Target Atlas Labelmap Moving Atlas T1 Moving Atlas Labelmap

Modules

'Slicer 3.6.1 recommended modules: Surface Registration

Download

Objective / Background

This is an example of inter-subject registration via surface matching. The structures of interest are a small subset of the entire image, hence registration is not driven by image intensities but rather two model surfaces derived from the labelmaps.

Keywords

MRI, brain, head, inter-subject, atlas to atlas, surface-based registration, thalamic nuclei

Input Data

  • fixed : T1w coronal, 1mm isotropic. Called A1_gray; 1mm isotropic, 256 x 256 x 256
  • fixed : labelmap , aligned with above. Called A1_label; 1mm isotropic, 256 x 256 x 256
  • moving: T1w coronal, 0.9 inplane, 1.5mm coronal slices. Called A0_gray; 0.9375 x 0.9375 x 1.5mm isotropic, 256 x 256 x 159
  • moving: labelmap , aligned with above. Called A0_label; 0.9375 x 0.9375 x 1.5mm isotropic, 256 x 256 x 159

Methods

Registration Results

unregistered
after ICP Surface Registration + Clipping


Discussion: Registration Challenges

  • Because the structures of interest are a very small subset of the image without distinct grayscale contrast
  • the two atlases represent different anatomies and hence some residual misalignment is inevitable
  • the two labelmaps have different resolutions and different smoothness of structure outlines. Some need filtering to remove spurious surface details that would distract the registration algorithm

Discussion: Key Strategies

  • Because the structures of interest are a very small subset of the image without distinct grayscale contrast, we co-register surfaces rather than intensity volumes
