Abstract
A new two-stage approach for nonlinear brain image registration is pro posed, In the first stage, an active contour algorithm is used to esta blish a homothetic one-to-one map between a set of region boundaries i n two images to he registered. This mapping is used in the second step : a two-dimensional transformation which is based on an elastic body d eformation, This method is tested by registering magnetic resonance im ages to atlas images.
