A Survey on Evaluation Methods for Medical Image Registration

How to estimate the results of medical image registration is still a problem, because no "golden estimation criterion" has been proposed. This paper not only presents an overview of existing estimation criterions for medical image registration, including the advantages and shortcomings of each estimation method, but also proposes some improved methods for estimation. At last, it gives out a summary of some problems existing in this Held, which may be the hot in the future.
