medical image reconstruction and registration
Plastimatch is an open source software for deformable image
registration. It is designed for high-performance volumetric
registration of medical images, such as X-ray computed tomography (CT),
magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and positron emission tomography(PET).
Software features include:
* B-spline method for deformable image registration (GPU and multicore
accelerated), including support for image masking, landmark penalties,
and regularization
* Demons method for deformable image registration (GPU accelerated)
* Multi-atlas segmentation
* ITK-based algorithms for translation, rigid, affine, multiple demons
methods, and B-spline registration
* Pipelined, multi-stage registration framework with seamless conversion
between most algorithms and transform types
* Landmark-based deformable registration using thinplate splines for
global registration
* Landmark-based deformable registration using radial basis functions
for local corrections
* Broad support for 3D image file formats (using ITK), including DICOM,
Nifti, NRRD, MetaImage, and Analyze
* Extensive toolchain for radiotherapy research, including support for
DICOM, DICOM-RT, DICOM SRO, XiO file format, gamma analysis, contour
manipulation, contour overlap analysis, and vector field analysis
Plastimatch also features two handy utilities which are not directly
related to image registration:
* FDK cone-beam CT reconstruction (GPU and multicore accelerated)
* Digitally reconstructed radiograph (DRR) generation (GPU and multicore
accelerated)
