Background:

Encoder-decoder architectures are standard for unsupervised medical image registration.
Optimizing both encoder and decoder parameters can be computationally intensive.

Purpose of the Study:

To propose LessNet, a simplified decoder-only network architecture for 3D medical image registration.
To evaluate the efficiency and performance of LessNet compared to existing methods.

Main Methods:

Developed LessNet, a network with a learnable decoder and handcrafted features replacing the encoder.
Evaluated LessNet on five diverse registration tasks, including brain, cardiac, and abdominal imaging.

Main Results:

LessNet effectively learns dense displacement and diffeomorphic deformation fields.
Achieved comparable registration performance to Voxel-Morph and TransMorph.
Demonstrated significantly reduced computational resource requirements.

Conclusions:

LessNet offers a compact and efficient alternative for unsupervised medical image registration.
The decoder-only approach is viable and performs competitively.
Reduced computational load makes LessNet suitable for resource-constrained environments.
