Before revision:  Deformable alignment, or registration, of clinical scans is a fundamental task for many medical image applications such as longitudinal population studies. Most registration algorithms are designed for high-resolution research-quality scans and under-perform when applied to clinical data.
After revision:  Deformable alignment, or registration, of clinical scans is a fundamental task for many clinical neuroscience studies. However, most registration algorithms are designed for high-resolution research-quality scans and under-perform when applied to clinical data.
