Registration of MRI and iUS data to compensate brain shift using a symmetric block-matching based approach

Abstract

This paper describes the application of an established block-matching based registration approach to the CuRIOUS 2018 MICCAI registration challenge. Different variations of this method are compared to demonstrate possible results of a fully automatic and general approach. The results can be used as a reference, for example when evaluating the performance of methods that are specifically developed for ultrasound to MRI registration.
