  • Feature detection and blockmatching-based transfer for landmark identification.
  • Thin-plate spline (TPS) transformation refined by minimizing an objective function with Normalized Gradient Field distance and curvature regularization.

    • Main Results:

    • The hybrid approach achieved a mean landmark distance of 1.15 mm, significantly outperforming TPS (1.68 mm) and intensity-based registration (2.44 mm).
    • Statistically significant improvements were observed in most datasets compared to TPS and intensity-based methods.
    • The method accurately estimates lung volume changes and produces physiologically plausible motion fields.

    Conclusions:

    • The novel landmark-based registration pipeline demonstrates superior accuracy compared to TPS and intensity-based methods.
    • Automatic landmark correspondence detection holds significant potential for enhancing lung CT registration accuracy.
    • This approach can lead to more reliable and efficient image analysis in clinical settings.
