Module Description

The module Non-Rigid Registers a moving to a fixed MRI. It uses a linear homogeneous bio-mechanical model to compute a dense deformation field that defines a transformation for every point in the fixed image to the moving image. The method includes three components (Feature Point Selection, Block Matching and Finite Element Solver) combine together to provide a user-friendly interface.

Use Cases

Case1 Input; top left: moving image, top right: mesh, bottom left: fixed image, bottom right: mask image.
Case1 Output; top left: warped image, top right: warped mesh, bottom left: direct deformation field, bottom right: inverse deformation field.
Case2 Input; top left: moving image, top right: mesh, bottom left: fixed image, bottom right: mask image.
Case2 Output; top left: warped image, top right: warped mesh, bottom left: direct deformation field, bottom right: inverse deformation field.

Panels and their use

  • Registration Parameters:
    • Block Radius: Radius (in image voxels) of the selected image blocks in each dimension (default: 1,1,1).
    • Window Radius: Radius (in image voxels) of the Block Matching window in each dimension (default: 5,5,5).
    • Selection Fraction: Fraction of the selected blocks from the total number of image blocks. Value should be between [0.01,1] (default: 0.05).
    • Rejection Fraction: Fraction of the rejected blocks from the number of the selected image blocks. Value should be between [0.01,1) (default: 0.25).
    • Outlier Rejection Steps: Number of outlier rejection steps. Value should be between [1,20] (default: 5).
    • Interpolation Steps: Number of interpolation steps. Value should be between [1,20] (default: 5).
    • Young Modulus: Young Modulus of the linear bio-mechanical model (default: 0.0021 N/mm2).
    • Poisson Ratio: Poisson Ratio of the linear bio-mechanical model. Value should be between [0.10,0.49] (default: 0.45).
  • Input/Output:
    • Input Moving Image: The input moving image (preoperative).
    • Input Fixed Image: The input fixed image (intraoperative).
    • Input Mask Image: The input moving mask.
    • Input Mesh: The input mesh.
    • Output Volume: Moving image to the fixed image coordinate frame (optional).
    • Output Direct Deformation Field: Transform calculated that aligns the fixed and moving image. Maps positions in the moving coordinate frame to the fixed coordinate frame (optional).
    • Output Inverse Deformation Field: Transform calculated that aligns the fixed and moving image. Maps positions in the fixed coordinate frame to the moving coordinate frame (optional).
