What is Narrow Band Deformable Registration of Prostate Magnetic Resonance Imaging, Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopic Imaging, and Computed Tomography Studies about?
## Purpose: Endorectal (er) coil-based magnetic resonance imaging (mri) and magnetic resonance spectroscopic imaging (mrsi) is often used to obtain anatomic and metabolic images of the prostate and to accurately identify and assess the intraprostatic lesions. recent advancements in high-field (3 tesla or above) mr techniques affords significantly enhanced signal-to-noise ratio and makes it possible to obtain high-quality mri data. in reality, the use of rigid or inflatable endorectal probes deforms the shape of the prostate gland, and the images so obtained are not directly usable in radiation therapy planning. the purpose of this work is to apply a narrow band deformable registration model to faithfully map the acquired information from the er-based mri/mrsi onto treatment planning computed tomography (ct) images. ## Methods and materials: A narrow band registration, which is a hybrid method combining the advantages of pixel-based and distance-based registration techniques, was used to directly register er-based mri/mrsi with ct. the normalized correlation between the two input images for registration was used as the metric, and the calculation was restricted to those points conta
