Neural Graphics Primitives-based Deformable Image Registration for On-the-fly Motion Extraction
In this study, we have successfully integrated NGP into DIR, a novel contribution that significantly enhances the accuracy and efficiency of medical image alignment as demonstrated on the DIR-lab dataset. The NGPDIR framework exhibits robust performance across various metrics, particularly in landmark alignment precision and the accommodation of anatomical sliding boundaries. This advancement not only propels the DIR field forward but also opens new avenues for real-time clinical applications, potentially transforming patient care with its rapid, reliable imaging capabilities.

Continuous sPatial-Temporal Deformable Image Registration (CPT-DIR) for motion modelling in radiotherapy: beyond classic voxel-based methods
In summary, the innovative CPT-DIR approach, integrating principles of INR and LDDMM, represents a11 significant departure from traditional voxel-based methods in DIR. By adopting a paradigm of continuous motion modelling, we transcend the limitations inherent in voxel-based representations, offering a more robust, automatic and versatile solution. Leveraging spatial continuity, we effectively handle the intricacies of sliding organ boundaries, while temporal continuity alleviates the complexities associated with significant anatomical changes over time. The tangible benefits are evident in its superior performance compared to classic B-splines methods. CPT-DIR consistently achieves better performance by all kinds of evaluation matrices. Additionally, the efficiency gains are substantial, with registration times slashed by more than half.
