Spline interpolation is the best method for transforming medical images, offering superior accuracy and efficiency. This evaluation compared various interpolation techniques for medical image geometric transformations.

Area of Science:

  • Medical image processing
  • Computer vision
  • Digital signal processing

Background:

  • Interpolation is crucial for medical image processing tasks.
  • Existing evaluations of interpolation methods lack focus on geometric transformations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate various interpolation techniques for applying rigid transformations (rotations and translations) to medical images.
  • To identify the most accurate and computationally efficient interpolation method for this specific application.

Main Methods:

  • Convolution-based interpolation methods were assessed.
  • A wide range of sinc-approximating kernels were evaluated, including piecewise polynomial and windowed sinc kernels.
  • Spatial supports varied from two to ten grid intervals, using diverse medical imaging modalities.

Main Results:

  • Spline interpolation demonstrated superior accuracy compared to other evaluated methods.
  • Spline interpolation also offered a relatively low computational cost.
  • The study provides a comprehensive comparison of interpolation kernels for medical image geometric transformations.

Conclusions:

  • Spline interpolation is recommended for geometric transformations in medical image processing due to its balance of accuracy and computational efficiency.
  • The findings guide the selection of optimal interpolation techniques in clinical and research settings.
  • Further research could explore non-rigid transformations and other interpolation families.
