Nonrigid Medical Image Registration by Finite-Element Deformable Sheet-Curve Models by Jianhua Xuan, Yue Wang, Matthew T. Freedman, Tulay Adali, Peter Shields

“…Specifically, deformable curves are constructed to match the boundaries dynamically, while a deformable sheet of thin-plate splines is designed to model complex local deformations. The experimental results on both digital phantoms and real MR breast images using the new method have been compared to point-based thin-plate-spline (TPS) approach, and have demonstrated a significant and robust improvement in both boundary alignment and local deformation recovery.…”
