Unsupervised Deformable Image Registration with Absent Correspondences in Pre-operative and Post-Recurrence Brain Tumor MRI Scans
Tony C. W. Mok, Albert C. S. Chung
Registration of pre-operative and post-recurrence brain images is often needed to evaluate the effectiveness of brain gliomas treatment. While recent deep learning-based deformable registration methods have achieved remarkable success with healthy brain images, most of them would be unable to accurately align images with pathologies due to the absent correspondences in the reference image. In this paper, we propose a deep learning-based deformable registration method that jointly estimates regions with absent correspondence and bidirectional deformation fields. A forward-backward consistency constraint is used to aid in the localization of the resection and recurrence region from voxels with absence correspondences in the two images. Results on 3D clinical data from the BraTS-Reg challenge demonstrate our method can improve image alignment compared to traditional and deep learning-based registration approaches with or without cost function masking strategy.
