AbstractNonlinear registration is critical to many aspects of Neuroimaging research. It facilitates averaging and comparisons across multiple subjects, as well as reporting of data in a common anatomical frame of reference. It is, however, a fundamentally ill-posed problem, with many possible solutions which minimise a given dissimilarity metric equally well. We present a novel regularisation method that aims to selectively drive solutions towards those which would be considered anatomically plausible by penalising unlikely lineal, areal and volumetric deformations. In addition, our penalty is symmetric in the sense that geometric expansions and contractions are penalised equally, which encourages inverse-consistency. We demonstrate that our method is able to significantly reduce volume and shape distortions compared to state-of-the-art elastic (FNIRT) and plastic (ANTs) registration frameworks. Crucially, this is achieved whilst matching or exceeding the registration quality of these methods, as measured by overlap scores of labelled cortical regions. Furthermore, extensive use of GPU parallelisation has allowed us to implement what is a highly computationally intensive optimisation strategy while maintaining reasonable run times of under half an hour.
