Title
A Novel Approach for the Registration of 2D Portal and 3D CT Images for Treatment Setup Verification in Radiotherapy
Abstract
In this paper we present a framework to simultaneously seg- ment portal images and register them to 3D treatment planning CT data sets for the purpose of radiotherapy setup veriflcation. Due to the low resolution and low contrast of the portal image, taken with a high energy treatment photon beam, registration to the 3D CT data is a di-cult problem. However, if some structure can be segmented in the portal im- age, it can be used to help registration, and if there is an estimate of the registration parameters, it can help improve the segmention of the portal image. The minimax entropy algorithm proposed in this paper evaluates appropriate entropies in order to segment the portal image and to flnd the registration parameters iteratively. The proposed algo- rithm can be used, in general, for registering a high resolution image to a low resolution image. Finally, we show the proposed algorithm's rela- tion to the mutual information (19) metric proposed in the literature for multi{modality image registration.
