Area of Science:

Medical Imaging
Image Analysis
Radiotherapy

Background:

Multimodality image registration is frequently employed to aid in target delineation for medical treatments.
Currently, a standardized quality control (QC) protocol for image registration tools is not widely established.
This lack of QC can impact the accuracy and reliability of image-guided interventions.

Purpose of the Study:

To describe established methods for multimodality image registration.
To outline criteria for validating the accuracy and reliability of image registration processes.
To present the specific routine practice at Centre Oscar Lambret, focusing on their validation approach.

Main Methods:

Detailed description of image registration techniques, including those utilizing mutual information.
