Plastimatch

Plastimatch is an open source software for deformable image registration. It is designed for high-performance volumetric registration of medical images, such as X-ray computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and positron emission tomography (PET). Software features include:

• B-spline method for deformable image registration (GPU and multicore accelerated)
• Demons method for deformable image registration (GPU accelerated)
• ITK-based algorithms for translation, rigid, affine, demons, and B-spline registration
• Pipelined, multi-stage registration framework with seamless conversion between most algorithms and transform types
• Landmark-based deformable registration using thin-plate splines for global registration
• Landmark-based deformable registration using radial basis functions for local corrections
• Broad support for 3D image file formats (using ITK), including Dicom, Nifti, NRRD, MetaImage, and Analyze
• Dicom and DicomRT import and export
• XiO import and export
• Plugins for 3D Slicer

Plastimatch also features two handy utilities which are not directly related to image registration:

• FDK cone-beam CT reconstruction (GPU and multicore accelerated)
• Digitally reconstructed radiograph (DRR) generation (GPU and multicore accelerated)
