External Email - Use Caution
Dear experts,
I would like to co-register T2 to T1 robustly, both images have a resolution of 0.65mm3.
Firstly, I tried bbregister with the '--init-rr' flag, but this function doesn't allow to keep the native voxel resolution (i.e., 0.65mm3), changing it to 1 mm. As I wanted to maintain the native voxel resolution , I tried the mri_robust_register function (corresponding to the '--init-rr' flag) as explained in the help associated with this function, but this process took thirteen hours:
EXAMPLE 4. Robust cross modal registration:
mri_robust_register --mov movT2.mgz --dst dstT1.mgz --satit --iscale
--mapmov T2_to_T1.mgz --lta T2_to_T1.lta --cost ROBENT --entradius 2
--entcorrection --weights T2_to_T1_weights.mgz
I also tried the standard cross modal registration. The process didn't take as long, but the result was not as accurate as bbregister.
EXAMPLE 5. Standard cross modal registration:
mri_robust_register --mov movT2.mgz --dst dstT1.mgz --mapmov T2_to_
T1.mgz --lta T2_to_T1.lta --cost NMI
Could you suggest me how to accurately register T2 to T1 images maintaining the native voxel resolution in a shorter time?
Thank you very much in advance.
Best, Marina
