Abstract

This document presents a non-rigid registration algorithm for the use of brain magnetic resonance (MR) images comparison. More precisely, we want to compare pre-operative and post-operative MR images in order to assess the deformation due to a surgical removal. The proposed algorithm has been studied in Chesseboeuf et al. ((Non-rigid registration of magnetic resonance imaging of brain. IEEE, 385–390. doi:10.1109/IPTA.2015.7367172, 2015), following ideas of Trouvé (An infinite dimensional group approach for physics based models in patterns recognition. Technical Report DMI Ecole Normale Supérieure, Cachan, 1995), in which the author introduces the algorithm within a very general framework. Here we recalled this theory from a practical point of view. The emphasis is on illustrations and description of the numerical procedure. Our version of the algorithm is associated with a particular matching criterion. Then, a section is devoted to the description of this object. In the last section we focus on the construction of a statistical method of evaluation.
