Module Description
BRAINSFit is a program for mutual information registration of brain imaging data using ITK classes. It is based on an example program included in the ITK distribution,
Insight/Examples/Registration/ImageRegistration8.cxx This program is the most functional example of multi-modal 3D rigid image registration provided with ITK. ImageRegistration8 is in the Examples directory, and also sec. 8.5.3 in the ITK manual. We have modified and extended this example in several ways:
- defined a new ITK Transform class, based on itkScaleSkewVersor3DTransform which has 3 dimensions of scale but no skew aspect.
- implemented a set of functions to convert between Versor Transforms and the general itk::AffineTransform and deferred converting from specific to more general representations to preserve transform information specificity as long as possible. Our Rigid transform is the narrowest, a Versor rotation plus separate translation.
- Added a template class itkMultiModal3DMutualRegistrationHelper which is templated over the type of ITK transform generated, and the optimizer used.
- Added image masks as an optional input to the Registration algorithm, limiting the volume considered during registration to voxels within the brain.
- Added image mask generation as an optional input to the Registration algorithm when meaningful masks such as for whole brain are not available, allowing the fit to at least be focused on whole head tissue.
- Added the ability to use one transform result, such as the Rigid transform, to initialize a more adaptive transform
- Defined the command line parameters using tools from the Slicer [ 3] program, in order to conform to the Slicer3 Execution model.
Added the ability to write output images in any ITK-supported scalar image format.
- Through extensive testing as part of the BRAINS2 application suite, determined reasonable defaults for registration algorithm parameters.
