Development of a Deformable Lung Phantom for the Evaluation of Deformable Registration
A deformable lung phantom was developed to simulate patient breathing motion and to evaluate a deformable image registration algorithm. The phantom consisted of an acryl cylinder filled with water and a latex balloon located in the inner space of the cylinder. A silicon membrane was attached to the inferior end of the phantom.

Noncoplanar Radiation using Tomotherapy: A Phantom Study
Background: There are very few studies on noncoplanar radiation in tomotherapy because deformable image registration is not implemented in the TomoTherapy Planning Station, a treatment planning device used in tomotherapy.

Registration of brain tumor images using hyper-elastic regularization [PDF]
In this paper, we present a method to estimate a deformation field between two instances of a brain volume having tumor. The novelties include the assessment of the disease progress by observing the healthy tissue deformation and usage of the Neo ...

Recurrent Registration Neural Networks for Deformable Image Registration
Parametric spatial transformation models have been successfully applied to image registration tasks. In such models, the transformation of interest is parameterized by a fixed set of basis functions as for example B-splines. Each basis function is located on a fixed regular grid position among the image domain, because the transformation of interest is

Random Walks for Deformable Image Registration [PDF]
We introduce a novel discrete optimization method for non-rigid image registration based on the random walker algorithm. We discretize the space of deformations and formulate registration using a Gaussian MRF where continuous labels correspond to the probability of a point having a certain discrete deformation.

On voxel-by-voxel accumulated dose for prostate radiation therapy using deformable image registration. [PDF]
Since delivered dose is rarely the same with planned, we calculated the delivered total dose to ten prostate radiotherapy patients treated with rectal balloons using deformable dose accumulation (DDA) and compared it with the planned dose.

F3RNet: full-resolution residual registration network for deformable image registration [PDF]
Deformable image registration (DIR) is essential for many image-guided therapies. Recently, deep learning approaches have gained substantial popularity and success in DIR. Most deep learning approaches use the so-called mono-stream "high-to-low, low-to-high" network structure, and can achieve satisfactory overall registration results. However, accurate

Deform-GAN:An Unsupervised Learning Model for Deformable Registration
Deformable registration is one of the most challenging task in the field of medical image analysis, especially for the alignment between different sequences and modalities. In this paper, a non-rigid registration method is proposed for 3D medical images leveraging unsupervised learning.
