- Description
- In radiation therapy, multiatlas segmentation is recognized as being accurate, but is generally not considered scalable since the highest accuracy is achieved only when using a large atlas database. The fundamental problem is to use such a large database, to accurately represent the population variability, while conserving a relatively small computational cost. A method based on the composition of transformations is proposed to address this issue. The main novelties and key contributions of this paper are the definition of a transitivity error function and the presentation of an image clustering scheme that is based solely on the computed registration transformations. Leave-one-out experiments conducted on a database of N=50 MR prostate scans demonstrate that a reduction of (N−1)=49x in the number of pre-alignment registrations, and of 3.2x in term of total registration effort, is possible without significant impact on segmentation quality.
