Slicer Registration Use Case Exampe #12: Liver Tumor Cryoablation

			LEGEND this indicates the reference image that is fixed and does not move. All other images are aligned into this space and resolution this indicates the moving image that determines the registration transform.

0.44 x 0.44 x 5 mm 784 x 784 x 30 RAS		0.68 x 0.68 x 1.5 mm 515 x 515 x 93 RAS

Objective / Background

We seek to align the pre-operative CT with the intra-operative MRI.

Discussion: Registration Challenges

• large differences in FOV
• strong differences in image contrast between MRI & CT
• contrast enhancement and pathology and treatment changes cause additional differences in image content
• we have strongly anisotropic voxel sizes with much less through-plane resolution
