Real time 3D medical image registration method is key technology of medical image processing, especially in surgical operation navigation. However, current 3D medical image registration methods are time-consuming, which can’t meet the real time requirement of clinical application. To solve this problem, this paper presented a high performance computational method based on CUDA ( Compute Unified Device Architecture), which took full advantage of GPU parallel computing under CUDA architecture combined with image multiple scale and maximum mutual information to make fast registration of three dimensional medical image. Experiments showed that this algorithm can greatly accelerate the computational speed of registration of three dimensional medical image, and meet the real time requirement of clinical application.

The image registration is a very important task in image processing. In the field of medical imaging, it is used to compare the anatomical structures of two or more images taken at different time to track for example the evolution of a disease. Intensity-based techniques are widely used in the multi-modal registration. To have the best registration, a cost function expressing the similarity between these images is maximized. The registration problem is reduced to the optimization of a cost function. We propose to use neighborhood meta-heuristics (tabu search, simulated annealing) and a meta-heuristic population (genetic algorithms). An evaluation step is necessary to estimate the quality of registration obtained. In this paper we present some results of medical image registration
