Abstract

Estimation of a resected tumor lodge localization after a breast cancer surgery is a demanding task for the radiotherapy planning. The image registration techniques can be used to improve the radiotherapy. The initial alignment of two volumes is an important aspect of medical image registration procedure. We propose usage of the iterative closest point in two different scenarios: as a initial alignment, replacing intensity based rigid registration and as a initial transform to speed-up traditional rigid registration process. Two versions of the algorithm are presented: a point matching between bone structures and a line matching between volume edges. The correctness and usefulness are evaluated using: a target registration error, comparison of the computation time and convergence ratios, and visual inspection. The results demonstrate that the usage of iterative closest point algorithm significantly improve the initial alignment process in terms of the computation time.
