BME Advanced Imaging [399-650A]: Course Notes

Non-linear Registration

• Suggested reading:
  • Chapter 1 of Brain Warping, the book edited by Arthur W. Toga. Notes will be made available in class. This is a great book, describing the state of the art in non-linear warping of medical image data of the brain. I have a copy in my office for consultation. Look at the the Research links on the LONI site for their own research on brain warping.
