โฆ Synopsis
In this paper, we present a Bayesian framework for both generating inter-subject large deformation transformations between two multi-modal image sets of the brain and for forming multi-class brain atlases. In this framework, the estimated transformations are generated using maximal information about the underlying neuroanatomy present in each of the different modalities. This modality independent registration framework is achieved by jointly estimating the posterior probabilities associated with the multi-modal image sets and the high-dimensional registration transformations mapping these posteriors. To maximally use the information present in all the modalities for registration, Kullback-Leibler divergence between the estimated posteriors is minimized. Registration results for image sets composed of multi-modal MR images of healthy adult human brains are presented. Atlas formation results are presented for a population of five infant human brains.

With the advances in image guided surgery for cancer treatment, the role of image segmentation and registration has become very critical. The central engine of any image guided surgery product is its ability to quantify the organ or segment the organ whether it is a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
