• Abstract: Deformable image registration is fundamental to many medical imaging applications. Registration is an inherently ambiguous task often admitting many viable solutions. While neural network-based registration techniques enable fast and accurate registration, the majority of existing approaches are not able to estimate uncertainty. Here, we present PULPo, a method for probabilistic deformable registration capable of uncertainty quantification. PULPo probabilistically models the distribution of deformation fields on different hierarchical levels combining them using Laplacian pyramids. This allows our method to model global as well as local aspects of the deformation field. We evaluate our method on two widely used neuroimaging datasets and find that it achieves high registration performance as well as substantially better calibrated uncertainty quantification compared to the current state-of-the-art.

  Learning-based deformable registration relies on weighted objective functions trading off registration accuracy and smoothness of the field. We construct a registration model based on the gradient surgery mechanism, named GSMorph, to achieve a hyper parameter-free balance on multiple losses. Our method is model-agnostic and can be merged into any deep registration network without introducing extra parameters or slowing down inference.

  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.

• Improving Uncertainty Calibration via Prior Augmented Data [56.88185136509654]
  Neural networks have proven successful at learning from complex data distributions by acting as universal function approximators. They are often overconfident in their predictions, which leads to inaccurate and miscalibrated probabilistic predictions. We propose a solution by seeking out regions of feature space where the model is unjustifiably overconfident, and conditionally raising the entropy of those predictions towards that of the prior distribution of the labels.

We employ a Gaussian-pyramid-based multilevel framework that can solve the image registration optimization in a coarse-to-fine fashion. We show that it archives state-of-the-art results on the COPDGene dataset compared to the challenge winning conventional registration method with much shorter execution time.
