Segmentation Guided Registration for 3D Spectral-Domain Optical Coherence Tomography Images
Medical image registration can be used for combining information from multiple imaging modalities, monitoring changes in size, shape or image intensity over time intervals. However, the development of such technique can be challenging for 3D spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) imaging, because SD-OCT image is inherently noisy and its high resolution leads to high complexity of non-rigid registration. In this paper, a new segmentation guided approach is reported for registration of retinal OCT data. The proposed method models the 3D registration as a two-stage registration including x-y direction registration and z direction registration. In x-y direction registration, the vessel maps ...
