An overview is presented of the medical image processing literature on mutual-information-
based registration. The aim of the survey is threefold: an introduction for those new to the …

Recent developments in image‐guidance and device navigation, along with emerging
robotic technologies, are rapidly transforming the landscape of interventional radiology (IR) …

The iterative closest point (ICP) algorithm is an efficient algorithm for robust rigid registration
of 3D data. Results provided by the algorithm are highly dependent upon the step of finding …

A system for the registration of computed tomography and 3-D intraoperative ultrasound
images is presented. Three gradient-based methods and one evolutionary algorithm are …

Background Dystonia is a medically intractable condition characterized by involuntary
twisting movements and/or abnormal postures. Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) has been …

Abstract Background Both CT and MRI are complementary to each other in that CT can
produce a distinct contour of bones, and MRI can show the shape of both ligaments and …

Metaheuristics are techniques that use approximate and intuitive strategies to quickly find
near-optimal solutions of complex optimization problems. A number of outstanding …

Recently, X-ray microscopy (XRM) and light-sheet fluorescence microscopy (LSFM) have
emerged as two pivotal imaging tools in preclinical research on bone remodeling diseases …
