• Abstract: Multi-modal registration is a required step for many image-guided procedures, especially ultrasound-guided interventions that require anatomical context. While a number of such registration algorithms are already available, they all require a good initialization to succeed due to the challenging appearance of ultrasound images and the arbitrary coordinate system they are acquired in. In this paper, we present a novel approach to solve the problem of registration of an ultrasound sweep to a pre-operative image. We learn dense keypoint descriptors from which we then estimate the registration. We show that our method overcomes the challenges inherent to registration tasks with freehand ultrasound sweeps, namely, the multi-modality and multidimensionality of the data in addition to lack of precise ground truth and low amounts of training examples. We derive a registration method that is fast, generic, fully automatic, does not require any initialization and can naturally generate visualizations aiding interpretability and explainability. Our approach is evaluated on a clinical dataset of paired MR volumes and ultrasound sequences.

  Medical ultrasound imaging relies heavily on high-quality signal processing to provide reliable and interpretable image reconstructions. Deep learning based methods, which are optimized in a data-driven fashion, have gained popularity. A relatively new paradigm combines the power of the two: leveraging data-driven deep learning, as well as exploiting domain knowledge.

  Multi-spectral optoacoustic tomography (MSOT) is an emerging optical imaging method providing multiplex molecular and functional information from the rodent brain. It can be greatly augmented by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) that offers excellent soft-tissue contrast and high-resolution brain anatomy. registration of multi-modal images remains challenging, chiefly due to the entirely different image contrast rendered by these modalities. Here we propose a fully automated registration method for MSOT-MRI multimodal imaging empowered by deep learning.

  Most deep learning-based registration methods assume that the desired deformation fields are globally smooth and continuous. We propose a weakly-supervised Deep Discontinuity-preserving Image Registration network (DDIR) to obtain better registration performance and realistic deformation fields. We demonstrate that our method achieves significant improvements in registration accuracy and predicts more realistic deformations, in registration experiments on cardiac magnetic resonance (MR) images.

  We propose a novel model, Multi-modal Gaussian Process Prior Variational Autoencoder (MGP-VAE), to impute one or more missing sub-modalities for a patient scan. MGP-VAE can leverage the Gaussian Process (GP) prior on the Variational Autoencoder (VAE) to utilize the subjects/patients and sub-modalities correlations. We show the applicability of MGP-VAE on brain tumor segmentation where either, two, or three of four sub-modalities may be missing.
