Non-Rigid Registration for High-Resolution Retinal Imaging [PDF]
Adaptive optics provides improved resolution in ophthalmic imaging when retinal microstructures need to be identified, counted, and mapped. In general, multiple images are averaged to improve the signal-to-noise ratio or analyzed for temporal dynamics ...

Adaptive Physics-Based Non-Rigid Registration for Immersive Image-Guided Neuronavigation Systems [PDF]
Objective: In image-guided neurosurgery, co-registered preoperative anatomical, functional, and diffusion tensor imaging can be used to facilitate a safe resection of brain tumors in eloquent areas of the brain. However, the brain deforms during surgery,

An Effective Non-Rigid Registration Approach for Ultrasound Images Based on the Improved Variational Model of Intensity, Local Phase Information and Descriptor Matching [PDF]
Ultrasound images have some limitations, such as low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), speckle noise, lower dynamic range, blurred boundaries, and shadowing; therefore, ultrasound image registration is an important task for estimating tissue motion and ...

Ultrasonic elastography-guided pleural biopsy followed by as-needed semi-rigid thoracoscopic pleural biopsy versus immediate semi-rigid thoracoscopic pleural biopsy for the diagnosis of pleural effusion (UPDATE-3): a protocol of randomised controlled trial [PDF]
Introduction Exudative pleural effusion of an unclear aetiology remains a diagnostic challenge. Ultrasonic elastography-guided pleural biopsy (UEPB) offers a higher diagnostic yield than conventional ultrasound-guided pleural biopsy; however, its role ...

An efficient algorithm for non-rigid object registration [PDF]
An efficient algorithm for registration of two non-rigid objects based on geometrical transformation of the template object to target object is proposed. The transformation is considered as warping of the template onto the target.
