Non-rigid registration of mammogram images using large displacement optical flow with extended flexibility for manual interventions
This thesis presents a registration method for mammogram images with extended flexibility for manual inputs from medical specialists. The algorithm was developed as part of the Mammography project led by Professor. Regina Barzilay at MIT CSAIL. Given a sequence of mammogram images, the algorithm …
