Slice-to-volume medical image registration: a survey

Image registration is the process of aligning and combining data coming from more than one image source into a unique coordinate system. This problem has become one of the pillars of computer vision and medical imaging. Slice-to-volume registration, a particular case of image registration problem, has received further attention in the medical imaging community during the last decade. In this case, instead of registering images with same dimension, we seek to determine the slice (corresponding to an arbitrary plane) from a given 3D volume that corresponds to an input 2D image.
