<html><body bgcolor="#FFFFFF"><div>Hi Luis,</div><div><br></div><div>It's nice to talk with you again.</div><div>I am using a Bspline deformable transform and I am initializing it with an affine transform. I am using a course bspline deformable transform followed by a finer resolution bspline deformable transform. This gives me greater accuracy and the code runs much faster using this multi-resolution approach. I used and modified code to work with 3 dimensional dicom brain images from deformableregistration8.cxx and deformableregistration15.cxx. In mapping my points, I now realize that I have to transform the fixed point twice, first with the course transformation and then with the finer transformation. I was only transforming the point with the finer transformation and that's one possibility why my transformation of a point from the brain ventricles in the fixed image did not map that accurately to within ventricles in the moving image. I use these as a way of automatically generating seed points for a region growing algorithm.</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks for clarifying that the bsplinetransform takes care of the origins.</div><div><br></div><div>Take care,</div><div>John <br><br>Sent from my iPhone</div><div><br>On 2010-04-17, at 6:57 PM, Luis Ibanez <<a href="mailto:luis.ibanez@kitware.com">luis.ibanez@kitware.com</a>> wrote:<br><br></div><div></div><blockquote type="cite"><div><br>Hi John,<br><br><br>1) What Transform are you using ?<br>2) How did you initialize it ?<br><br><br>If you are following any of the BSplineDeformable<br>Transform as shown in the examples in<br><br> Insight/Examples/Registration<br>

<div>Hello,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I perform a multi-resolution deformable registration between 2 MRI images from 2 different people using a multi-modal metric.</div>
<div>Then I map points from the fixed image to the moving image using the transform obtained from the registration using TransformPoint();</div>
<div>Do I need to include the difference between the coordinates of the origins of both or either images in my calculation, or does the TransformPoint take care of this?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thank you,</div>
<div>John</div>
