Medical Image Registration in Clinical Diagnosis: An Introduction

Introduction

A critical stage in visualizing the process is the alignment or registration of the images. This includes transformation, scaling and skews as well as the rigid body parameters in matrix form by preserving all the parallel lines. Rigid body registration is widely used in medical applications where the structures of interest (region of interest) are either bone or are enclosed in bone as noted in works by Yang (1999); Hill (2001); Zitova (2003); Yang et al. (2007) and Viergever et al. (2016). Furthermore, this article focuses discussion on medical image registration on attempting to provide a clinical justification for diagnosis by observers’ classification.
