摘要:
Medical imaging analysis systems are configured to perform automatic image registration algorithms that perform three-dimensional (3D), affine, and/or intensity-based co-registration of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data, such as multiparametric MRI (mpMRT) data, using mutual information (MI) as a similarity metric. An apparatus comprises a computer-readable storage medium storing a plurality of imaging series of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data for imaged tissue of a patient; and a processor coupled to the computer-readable storage medium. The processor is configured to receive the imaging series of MRI data; identify a volume of interest (VOI) of each image of the imaging series of MRI data; compute registration parameters for the VOIs through the maximization of mutual information of the corrected VOIs; and register the VOIs using the computed registration parameters.
