Numerical Methods for Medical Image Registration

A generic task in modern image processing is image registration, needed for integration and/or comparison of data obtained from different images. Particularly in a medical environment, there is a huge demand for comparing pre- and post-intervention images, integrating modalities like anatomy (obtained, e.g., from computer tomography) and functionality (obtained, e.g., from positron emission tomography), motion correction and/or reconstruction of two-dimensional projections from a three-dimensional volume (applies to all tomography techniques and histology). The problem is easily stated: given two images (a reference and a template image), find a transformation, such that the transformed image is similar to the reference image.

Course Format

The course is made up of three elements:

• The main part is lectures and hands-on exercises given and supervised mainly by the invited lecturers. A reading list will be made for preparation prior to the course

• The second part is small talks by the PhD students giving general training in presentations. The majority of the talks is expected to be related for the general topic.

• The third part is for the PhD students to reflect, relate and use the connection between the course content and their PhD project. This work muct be reported in a small paper which has to be submitted and tehn approved by the scientific host.
