2013 Summer Project Week:Deformable registration validation toolkit

• 

  Projects List

• 

  SIFT features

• 

  VisAIRe registration validation extension in Slicer

Key Investigators

• MGH: Greg Sharp
• PMH, Toronto: Kevin Wang
• BWH: Andrey Fedorov

Objective

We are developing tools for helping users assess the accuracy of deformable image registration.

Approach, Plan

• Review Andrey Fedorov's qualitative registration review
• Review Chiara Paganelli's feature matching method
• Review Matthew Toews' feature matching method

Progress

• Qualitative review method is very nice, but doesn't offer quantitative method. This method should be very useful for QA of many scans
• Quantitative method is required for algorithm tuning
• Paganelli's method only returned a small-ish number of features. Work is continuing to improve this.
• Toews' method returns many features, but in voxel coordinates, so cannot yet be reviewed.

Delivery Mechanism

This work will be delivered to the NA-MIC Kit as:

• Extension -- python scripted
