SCHEDULE 1

The Software

The Image Registration Toolkit is a comprehensive library of tools for medical image registration. It implements a variety of algorithms for 2D and 3D image registration including rigid, affine and non-rigid registration. The software also includes tools for transforming and resampling images using a variety of geometric transformations and interpolation methods. Tools for manipulating transformations are also included.

The rigid and affine registration algorithms are based on the method proposed by Colin Studholme in

C. Studholme, D.L.G.Hill, D.J. Hawkes, An Overlap Invariant Entropy Measure of 3D Medical Image Alignment, Pattern Recognition, Vol. 32(1), Jan 1999, pp 71-86.

The non-rigid registration algorithm is based on the methods proposed by Daniel Rueckert and Julia Schnabel in

D. Rueckert, L. I. Sonoda, C. Hayes, D. L. G. Hill, M. O. Leach, and D. J. Hawkes. Non- rigid registration using free-form deformations: Application to breast MR images. IEEE Transactions on Medical Imaging, 18(8):712-721, 1999.
J. A. Schnabel, D. Rueckert, M. Quist, J. M. Blackall, A. D. Castellano Smith, T. Hartkens, G. P. Penney, W. A. Hall, H. Liu, C. L. Truwit, F. A. Gerritsen, D. L. G. Hill, and D. J. Hawkes. A generic framework for non-rigid registration based on non-uniform multi-level free-form deformations. In Fourth Int. Conf. on Medical Image Computing and Computer- Assisted Intervention (MICCAI '01), pages 573-581, Utrecht, NL, October 2001.

The software has been written by Daniel Rueckert
