Title
Interpolation of Histological Slices by Means of Non-rigid Registration
Abstract
Abstract. It is a common,approach to create and inspect histological slices to investigate functional and morphological structures on a cellular level. For the easier analysis of the resulting data sets, the underlying 3-D structure has to be reconstructed and visualized. Due to mechanical stress imposed on the tissue during the slicing, some slices are dam- aged, leading to an unsatisfying reconstruction result. In this article we present a means to interpolate missing images. For this, a deformation fleld, calculated by a variational non-rigid registration method using ad- jacent slices as reference and template images, is partially applied to the template image. The approach is tested on a histological data set, and evaluated using visual inspection by experts. The resulting reconstruc- tion is shown to be a signiflcant improvement.
