Plastimatch is an open source software for deformable
image registration. It is designed for high-performance
volumetric registration of medical images, such as X-ray
computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging
(MRI), and positron emission tomography (PET). Software
features include:
* B-spline method for deformable image registration
(GPU and multicore accelerated), including support for
image masking, landmark penalties, and regularization
* Demons method for deformable image registration
(GPU accelerated)
* Multi-atlas segmentation
* ITK-based algorithms for translation, rigid, affine,
multiple demons methods, and B-spline registration
* Pipelined, multi-stage registration framework with
seamless conversion between most algorithms and
transform types
* Landmark-based deformable registration using thin-
plate splines for global registration
* Landmark-based deformable registration using radial
basis functions for local corrections
* Broad support for 3D image file formats (using ITK),
including DICOM, Nifti, NRRD, MetaImage, and Analyze
* Extensive toolchain for radiotherapy research, including
support for DICOM, DICOM-RT, DICOM SRO, XiO file format,
gamma analysis, contour manipulation, contour overlap
analysis, and vector field analysis
Plastimatch also features two handy utilities which are
not directly related to image registration:
* FDK cone-beam CT reconstruction (GPU and multicore
accelerated)
* Digitally reconstructed radiograph (DRR) generation
(GPU and multicore accelerated)
