Abstract

This paper presents a global optimisation method for the registration of 3D medical images. A novel cost function is defined and it is optimised with the help of local non-linear elastic deformations. The terms of the cost function may be used as measurements of the degree of deformation, necessary to bring two images in registration, and al so as quantifiers of the evolution of various pathologies.
