Multi-Modal Image Registration

Abstract This paper presents image techniques, registration and processing. Structural imaging techniques provide anatomical images. Structural imaging techniques include CT and MRI. Functional imaging conveys physiological information. Functional imaging techniques include fMRI, PET/CT and MRS. Image registration is a technique which aligns images of different modalities. This allows healthcare professionals to make crucial decisions in diagnosis and treatments. There are different methods of image registration which are based according to nine different criteria. Mono-modal image registration uses images of the same modality. Multi-modal image registration uses images of different modalities. Patient to modality registration uses one image
