title = "Non-rigid registration of breast MR images using mutual information",
abstract = "We present a new approach for the non-rigid registration of contrast-enhanced breast MRI using normalised mutual information. A hierarchical transformation model of the motion of the breast has been developed: The global motion of the breast is modelled using affine transformation models while the local motion of the breast is modelled using spline-based free-form deformation (FFD) models. The algorithm has been applied to the fully automated registration of 3D breast MRI. In particular, we have compared the results of the proposed nonrigid registration algorithm to those obtained using rigid and affine registration techniques. The results clearly indicate that the non-rigid registration algorithm is much better able to recover the motion and deformation of the breast than rigid or affine registration algorithms.",
