The truth is hard to make: Validation of medical image registration

An unsolved problem in medical image analysis is validation of methods. In this paper we will focus on image registration and in particular on nonlinear image registration, which is one of the hardest analysis problems to validate. The paper covers currently used methods of validation, comparative challenges and public datasets, as well as some of our own work in this area.
