Module Description

This is the plastimatch landmark-based deformable image registration module. The intended application of this method is rapid, interactive correction of registration failures with a small number of mouse clicks. Compared to other landmark-based methods, the plastimatch registration method might offer:

  1. both local and global registration
  2. regularization of the deformation field

Examples of how this module is being used:

  • Intra-subject registration for adaptive radiotherapy
  • Inter-subject registration for automatic segmentation

Tutorials


Panels and their use

  • Input/Output panel:
    • Fixed Volume: Here you choose the "fixed image", which is the reference image.
    • Moving Volume: Here you choose the "moving image", which will be warped to match the fixed image.
    • Output Volume: Here you choose where to put the warped image. You can replace an existing image in the scene, or create a new image.
    • Basis function: Here you can choose either tps (thin plate splines), or gauss (Gaussian RBF), or wendland (Wendland RBF).
    • RBF radius: Here you can choose the radius of RBF.
    • Number of clusters: Here you can choose the number of landmark clusters.
    • Stiffness: Here you can choose the regularization parameter.
    • Default Pixel Value: Here you can choose the value for pixels with unknown value.
