Summary
In this paper a new method for elastic registration of medical images is presented. The method uses corresponding regions of gray values, which are segmented interactively. The deformation part is based on finite element meshes generated from the segmented regions. During the deformation process, the similarity between the deformed mesh and the target image is measured and the ‘intensity’ of the deformation is controlled.
