Journal ArticleDOI
Multimodality image registration by maximization of mutual information
TL;DR: The results demonstrate that subvoxel accuracy with respect to the stereotactic reference solution can be achieved completely automatically and without any prior segmentation, feature extraction, or other preprocessing steps which makes this method very well suited for clinical applications.
Journal ArticleDOI
Automated model-based tissue classification of MR images of the brain
TL;DR: The algorithm is able to segment single- and multi-spectral MR images, corrects for MR signal inhomogeneities, and incorporates contextual information by means of Markov random Fields (MRF's).

TL;DR: The results indicate that retrospective techniques have the potential to produce satisfactory results much of the time, but that visual inspection is necessary to guard against large errors.
Multi-modality image registration by maximization of mutual information
TL;DR: In this article, the authors give experimental evidence of the power and the generality of the mutual information criterion by showing results for various applications involving CT, MR and PET images, and illustrate the large applicability of the approach and demonstrate its high suitability for routine use in clinical practice.
