Abstract
PURPOSE: The ability to register image data to a common coordinate system is a critical feature of virtually all imaging studies. However, in spite of the abundance of literature on the subject and the existence of several variants of registration algorithms, their practical utility remains problematic, as commonly acknowledged even by developers of these methods. METHODS: A new registration method is presented that utilizes a Hamiltonian formalism and constructs registration as a sequence of symplectomorphic maps in conjunction with a novel phase space regularization. For validation of the framework a panel of deformations expressed in analytical form is developed that includes deformations based on known physical processes in MRI and reproduces various distortions and artifacts typically present in images collected using these different MRI modalities. RESULTS: The method is demonstrated on the three different magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) modalities by mapping between high resolution anatomical (HRA) volumes, medium resolution diffusion weighted MRI (DW-MRI) and HRA volumes, and low resolution functional MRI (fMRI) and HRA volumes. CONCLUSIONS: The method has shown an excellent performance and the panel of deformations was instrumental to quantify its repeatability and reproducibility in comparison to several available alternative approaches.
