Module Description
When we want to register two images, often times, we would like an accurate matching at certain region. For example, in the atrial fibrillation longitudinal study, we want to register the pre-op and post-op images. In particular, we want the matching at the atrium to be emphasized. In such cases, we can use the segmentation of the target region, atrium in the previous example, to aid the registration process. This module is such a segmentation aided registration tool.
Use Cases
- In the atrial fibrillation longitudinal study, we want to register the pre-op and post-op images. In particular, we want the matching at the atrium to be emphasized.
Tutorials
N/A
TODO: add a grid-view putting the lge46 and registered72. Apparently using grayscale image registration will/should not get the two image misalligned as a whole like that.
