Abstract

PURPOSE: 3D multimodal medical image deformable registration plays a significant role in medical image analysis and diagnosis. However, due to the substantial differences between images of different modalities, registration is challenging and requires high computational costs. Deep learning-based registration methods face these challenges. The primary aim of this paper is to design a 3D multimodal registration network that ensures high-quality registration results while reducing the number of parameters.
