Intensity-Based 2D-3D Spine Image Registration Incorporating One Fiducial Marker
In this paper, we propose a hybrid similarity measure for 2D-3D image registration that is a weighted combination of an intensitybased image similarity measure and a point-based me...

Iterating Registration and Activation Detection to Overcome Activation Bias in fMRI Motion Estimates
Abstract. Most intensity-based fMRI registration methods do not account for the fact that the volumes being aligned may differ: one may have blood oxygen level dependent (BOLD) con...
