Abstract

In this paper, we propose an image registration method by optimization of mutual information to provide a significant information from multimodality images. The method applies mutual information to measure the statistical dependency or information redundancy between the image intensities of corresponding pixels in both images, which is assumed to be maximal if the images are geometrically aligned. We show the registration results optimizing mutual information between brain MR image and brain CT image and the comparison results with additive gaussian noise. Since our method uses the native image rather than prior segmentation or feature extraction, no user interaction is required and the accuracy of registration is improved. In addition, it shows the robustness against the noise.
