Multimodality Image Registration for Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)

Key Investigators

• Georgia Tech: Yifei Lou and Allen Tannenbaum
• Micah Chambers: UCLA

Objective

• Understanding brain injury using (multimodal) deformable image registration
• Robust registrations inspire of topological changes (enforcing zero flow?)
• CUDA-based implementation, which takes 1 min for 256x256x60

Approach, Plan

• Integration into Slicer3 Module
• Consolidate and streamline workflow
• Validate algorithm on various datasets

Progress
