Abstract:
1. A method for registration of multiparametric and modality images or objects, comprising the steps of: acquiring image data in slices; processing the acquired image data; and wherein said processing comprises resizing number of slices in one of a plurality of planes or all planes to a desired size using orthogonal reslicing and to obtain resampled target volume (RTV), registration parameters estimation based on non-uniform radial reslicing: searching for best match between reference slices and resampled target volume (RTV) slices, and non-uniform radial reslicing comprising (i) 3D rotation, (ii) slice-by-slice affine transformation (translation and scale only) of the resampled target volume (RTV), and (iii) search which slices of RTV, after applying (i) and (ii), are similar to slices of the reference volume.
