Abstract [en]
Deformable image registration, the task of nding a spatial transformation that aligns two or more images with each other, is an important task in medical image analysis. To a large extent, research on image registration has been focused on automatic methods. This is in contrast to, e.g., image segmentation, where interactive semi-automatic methods are common. Here, we propose a method for interactive editing of a deformation eld aligning two volume images. The method has been implemented in a software that allows the user to click and drag points in the deformed image to a new location, while smoothly deforming surrounding points. The method is fast enough to allow real-time display of the deformed volume image during user interaction, on standard hardware. The resulting tool is useful for initializing automatic methods, and to correct errors in automatically generated registrations.
