This paper describes DARTEL, which is an algorithm for diffeomorphic image registration. It is implemented for both 2D and 3D image registration and has been formulated to include an option for estimating inverse consistent deformations. Nonlinear registration is considered as a local optimisation problem, which is solved using a Levenberg-Marquardt strategy. The necessary matrix solutions are obtained in reasonable time using a multigrid method. A constant Eulerian velocity framework is used…

Diffeomorphic 3D Image Registration via Geodesic Shooting Using an Efficient Adjoint Calculation
TLDR
The key contribution of this work is to provide an accurate estimation of the so-called initial momentum, which is a scalar function encoding the optimal deformation between two images through the Hamiltonian equations of geodesics.
Frequency Diffeomorphisms for Efficient Image Registration
TLDR
A novel finite dimensional Fourier representation of diffeomorphic deformations based on the key fact that the high frequency components of a diffeomorphism remain stationary throughout the integration process when computing the deformation associated with smooth velocity fields is introduced.
Symmetric image registration with directly calculated inverse deformation field
TLDR
A novel technique for a symmetric deformable image registration based on a new method for fast and accurate direct inversion of a large motion model deformation field making the final estimation of forward and backward deformation fields anatomically plausible.

A log-Euclidean framework was used to model diffeomorphisms, and it was demonstrated that the proposed algorithm is diffeomorphic with sub-voxel accuracy in terms of symmetry.
Non-linear Image Registration
TLDR
This chapter reviews mathematical techniques for nonlinear image registration and presents a general, unified, and flexible approach based on a variational formulation and particular emphasis is given to regularization functionals motivated by mathematical elasticity.
A Parameterization of Deformation Fields for Diffeomorphic Image Registration and Its Application to Myocardial Delineation
TLDR
A new parameterization of deformation fields for image registration is investigated that describes a deformation field with its transformation Jacobian and curl of end velocity field in terms of radial and rotational components, making it especially suited for processing cardiac data.
Registration of Images With Varying Topology Using Embedded Maps

The efficacy of the proposed REM method for registration of brain MRI with severe topological differences is demonstrated as multiple sets of experiments are conducted on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with lesions from OASIS and ADNI datasets.
Parametric non-rigid registration using a stationary velocity field
TLDR
A novel log-Euclidean FFD approach, in which a spline model of a stationary velocity field is exponentiated to yield a diffeomorphism, using an efficient scaling-and-squaring algorithm.

TLDR
A new sufficient condition for the invertibility of a B-spline vector field as well as its extension to spatio-temporal vector fields are presented and a new diffeomorphic registration algorithm using this condition and its application to interslice interpolation is presented.

TLDR
This method generates a representative anatomical template from an arbitrary number of topologically similar images using large deformation minimum mean squared error image registration and generates the image that requires the least amount of deformation energy to be transformed into every input image.
