Objective
Accurate registration of same patient/same modality MRI data for longitudinal analysis of tumor progression.
Specific Aims
- Compare the accuracy of registration using existing Slicer and non-Slicer tools
- Identify parameter settings that produce satisfactory results
- Outline the limitations of the available registration tools in the context of the specific clinical research application
Data
- Input images: isotropic post-contrast T1 MRI acquired at different locations of BWH during 2006-2008, used under medical records study IRB. Time period between acquisition of scans for each patient is about 1 year.
- Ground truth transformation: not available
- Expert landmarks for registration evaluation: not available
- Checkerboard appearance of unregistered images for the representative data of interest
- Case10
Measures of success
- qualitative assessment: visually pleasing results
- quantitative assessment: something better than "visually pleasing" (TBD)
- minimum execution time
