METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR REGISTRATION OF IMAGES

摘要

A method for registering images, for example medical images, includes acquiring a first image (13). A second image (14) is acquired. A deformation field for registering the second image to the first image is calculated. The deformation field includes a sum of a plurality of weighted distortion vectors each of which has a substantially Gaussian distribution. The calculated deformation field is applied to the second image to register it to the first image.
