Registration of 3D multi-modality medical images using surfaces and point landmarks

Abstract An algorithm is presented for the geometric registration of 3D multi-modality medical images using a weighted combination of point landmarks and anatomical surfaces. The algorithm includes a new fully automatic outlier treatment method.
