Abstract

Three-dimensional (3D) and four-dimensional (4D) imaging plays an increasingly important role in computer-assisted diagnosis, intervention and therapy. However, in many cases the interpretation of these images is heavily dependent on the subjective assessment of the imaging data by clinicians. Over the last decades image registration has transformed the clinical workflow in many areas of medical imaging. At the same time, advances in machine learning have transformed many of the classical problems in computer vision into machine learning problems. This paper will focus on the convergence of image registration and machine learning techniques for the discovery and quantification of clinically useful information from medical images. We will illustrate this with several examples such as the segmentation of neuro-anatomical structures, the discovery of biomarkers for neurodegenerative diseases and the quantification of temporal changes such as atrophy in Alzheimer’s disease.
