Image Registration in Longitudinal Bone Assessment Using Computed Tomography.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose of review

Rigid image registration is an important image processing tool for the assessment of musculoskeletal chronic disease. In this paper, we critically review applications of rigid image registration in terms of similarity measurement methods over the past three years (2019-2022) in the context of monitoring longitudinal changes to bone microstructure and mechanical properties using computed tomography. This review identifies critical assumptions and trade-offs underlying different similarity measurement methods used in image registration and demonstrates the effect of using different similarity measures on registration outcomes.

Recent findings

Image registration has been used in recent studies for: correcting positional shifts between longitudinal scans to qua
