• Abstract summary: MsMorph is an image registration framework aimed at mimicking the manual process of registering image pairs. It decodes semantic information at different scales and continuously compen-sates for the predicted deformation field. The proposed method simulates the manual approach to registration, focusing on different regions of the image pairs and their neighborhoods.

• Abstract: In the field of medical image analysis, image registration is a crucial technique. Despite the numerous registration models that have been proposed, existing methods still fall short in terms of accuracy and interpretability. In this paper, we present MsMorph, a deep learning-based image registration framework aimed at mimicking the manual process of registering image pairs to achieve more similar deformations, where the registered image pairs exhibit consistency or similarity in features. By extracting the feature differences between image pairs across various as-pects using gradients, the framework decodes semantic information at different scales and continuously compen-sates for the predicted deformation field, driving the optimization of parameters to significantly improve registration accuracy. The proposed method simulates the manual approach to registration, focusing on different regions of the image pairs and their neighborhoods to predict the deformation field between the two images, which provides strong interpretability. We compared several existing registration methods on two public brain MRI datasets, including LPBA and Mindboggle. The experimental results show that our method consistently outperforms state of the art in terms of metrics such as Dice score, Hausdorff distance, average symmetric surface distance, and non-Jacobian.

  Most deep learning-based registration methods assume that the deformation fields are smooth and continuous everywhere in the image domain. We propose a novel discontinuity-preserving image registration method to tackle this challenge, which ensures globally discontinuous and locally smooth deformation fields. A co-attention block is proposed in the segmentation component of the network to learn the structural correlations in the input images. We evaluate our method on the task of intra-subject-temporal image registration using large-scale cinematic cardiac magnetic resonance image sequences.
