Data-driven deep learning approaches to image registration can be less accurate than conventional iterative approaches, especially when training data is limited. To address this whilst retaining the fast inference speed of deep learning, we propose VR-Net, a novel cascaded variational network for unsupervised deformable image registration. Using the variable splitting optimization scheme, we first convert the image registration problem, established in a generic variational framework, into two sub-problems, one with a point-wise, closed-form solution while the other one is a denoising problem. We then propose two neural layers (i.e. warping layer and intensity consistency layer) to model the analytical solution and a residual U-Net to formulate the denoising problem (i.e. generalized denoising layer). Finally, we cascade the warping layer, intensity consistency layer, and generalized denoising layer to form the VR-Net. Extensive experiments on three (two 2D and one 3D) cardiac magnetic resonance imaging datasets show that VR-Net outperforms state-of-the-art deep learning methods on registration accuracy, while maintains the fast inference speed of deep learning and the data-efficiency of variational model.
Deformable image registration is a fundamental task in medical imaging. Due to the large computational complexity of deformable registration of volumetric images, conventional iterative methods usually face the tradeoff between the registration accur
Spatially aligning medical images from different modalities remains a challenging task, especially for intraoperative applications that require fast and robust algorithms. We propose a weakly-supervised, label-driven formulation for learning 3D voxel
We introduce a learning strategy for contrast-invariant image registration without requiring imaging data. While classical registration methods accurately estimate the spatial correspondence between images, they solve a costly optimization problem fo
Deformable registration is one of the most challenging task in the field of medical image analysis, especially for the alignment between different sequences and modalities. In this paper, a non-rigid registration method is proposed for 3D medical ima
Deformable image registration (DIR) is essential for many image-guided therapies. Recently, deep learning approaches have gained substantial popularity and success in DIR. Most deep learning approaches use the so-called mono-stream high-to-low, low-t
