Intrasubject Multimodal Groupwise Registration with the Conditional Template Entropy

Biomedical image registration is the process of spatially aligning medical images, allowing for an accurate and quantitative comparison. An increasing number of image analysis tasks calls for the alignment of multiple (more than two) images. Examples include the joint analysis of tissue properties using multi-parametric MRI (Huizinga et  al., 2016; Wells et al., 2015), spatio-temporal motion estimation from dynamic sequences (Metz et al., 2011; Vandemeulebroucke et al., 2011), atlas construction (Fletcher et al., 2009; Joshi et al., 2004; Wu et al., 2011) and population analyses (Geng et al., 2009).
