Binary Segmentation Masks for Registration of Bone Structures in CT Images

Rigid registration of bone structures in stacks of CT images can be improved by using a binary segmentation mask for the registration compared to using the segmented grey values directly. Three criteria are applied to the different reference and template datasets in order to quantify registration results. For all three criteria a statistically significant superiority of the technique using the binary segmentation masks is demonstrated. First results for a multimodal registration of a
