Retrospective registration of tomographic brain images
Year: 1996
Type: dissertation
Abstract: In modern clinical practice, the clinician can make use of a vast array of specialized imaging techniques supporting diagnosis and treatment. For various reasons, the same anatomy of one patient is sometimes imaged more than once, either using the same imaging apparatus (monomodal acquisition ), or different ones (multimodal acquisition). To make simultaneous use of the acquired images, it is often necessary to bring these images in registration, i.e., to align their anatomical coordinate systems. The problem of medical image registration as concerns human brain images is addressed in this thesis. The specific chapters include a survey of recent literature, CT/MR registration using mathematical image features (edges and ridges), monomodal SPECT registration, and CT/MR/SPECT/PET registration using image features extracted by the use of mathematical morphology.
