## AffineRegistration

Link to code

Wraps command **AffineRegistration **

title: Affine Registration

category: Legacy.Registration

description: Registers two images together using an affine transform and mutual information. This module is often used to align images of different subjects or images of the same subject from different modalities.

This module can smooth images prior to registration to mitigate noise and improve convergence. Many of the registration parameters require a working knowledge of the algorithm although the default parameters are sufficient for many registration tasks.

Inputs:

    [Mandatory]

            output, `file` - writes output to file, `none` - output is ignored

    [Optional]

            flag: %s, position: -2

    fixedsmoothingfactor: (an integer)
            Amount of smoothing applied to fixed image prior to registration.
            Default is 0 (none). Range is 0-5 (unitless). Consider smoothing the

            means 10mm = 1 degree. (Actual scale used is

## RigidRegistration

Link to code

Wraps command **RigidRegistration **

title: Rigid Registration

category: Legacy.Registration

description: Registers two images together using a rigid transform and mutual information.

This module was originally distributed as “Linear registration” but has been renamed to eliminate confusion with the “Affine registration” module.

This module is often used to align images of different subjects or images of the same subject from different modalities.

This module can smooth images prior to registration to mitigate noise and improve convergence. Many of the registration parameters require a working knowledge of the algorithm although the default parameters are sufficient for many registration tasks.

This work is part of the National Alliance for Medical Image Computing (NAMIC), funded by the National Institutes of Health through the NIH Roadmap for Medical Research, Grant U54 EB005149.

Inputs:

    [Mandatory]
    terminal_output: ('stream' or 'allatonce' or 'file' or 'none')
            Control terminal output: `stream` - displays to terminal
            immediately, `allatonce` - waits till command is finished to display
            output, `file` - writes output to file, `none` - output is ignored

    [Optional]
    FixedImageFileName: (an existing file name)
            Fixed image to which to register
            flag: %s, position: -2
    MovingImageFileName: (an existing file name)
            Moving image
            flag: %s, position: -1
    args: (a string)
            Additional parameters to the command
            flag: %s
    environ: (a dictionary with keys which are a value of type 'str' and
             with values which are a value of type 'str', nipype default value:
             {})
            Environment variables
    fixedsmoothingfactor: (an integer)
            Amount of smoothing applied to fixed image prior to registration.
            Default is 0 (none). Range is 0-5 (unitless). Consider smoothing the
            input data if there is considerable amounts of noise or the noise
            pattern in the fixed and moving images is very different.
            flag: --fixedsmoothingfactor %d
    histogrambins: (an integer)
            Number of histogram bins to use for Mattes Mutual Information.
            Reduce the number of bins if a registration fails. If the number of
            bins is too large, the estimated PDFs will be a field of impulses
            and will inhibit reliable registration estimation.
            flag: --histogrambins %d
    ignore_exception: (a boolean, nipype default value: False)
            Print an error message instead of throwing an exception in case the
            interface fails to run
    initialtransform: (an existing file name)
            Initial transform for aligning the fixed and moving image. Maps
            positions in the fixed coordinate frame to positions in the moving
            coordinate frame. Optional.
            flag: --initialtransform %s
    iterations: (an integer)
            Comma separated list of iterations. Must have the same number of
            elements as the learning rate.
            flag: --iterations %s
    learningrate: (a float)
            Comma separated list of learning rates. Learning rate is a scale
            factor on the gradient of the registration objective function
            (gradient with respect to the parameters of the transformation) used
            to update the parameters of the transformation during optimization.
            Smaller values cause the optimizer to take smaller steps through the
            parameter space. Larger values are typically used early in the
            registration process to take large jumps in parameter space followed
            by smaller values to home in on the optimum value of the
            registration objective function. Default is: 0.01, 0.005, 0.0005,
            0.0002. Must have the same number of elements as iterations.
            flag: --learningrate %s
    movingsmoothingfactor: (an integer)
            Amount of smoothing applied to moving image prior to registration.
            Default is 0 (none). Range is 0-5 (unitless). Consider smoothing the
            input data if there is considerable amounts of noise or the noise
            pattern in the fixed and moving images is very different.
            flag: --movingsmoothingfactor %d
    outputtransform: (a boolean or a file name)
            Transform calculated that aligns the fixed and moving image. Maps
            positions in the fixed coordinate frame to the moving coordinate
            frame. Optional (specify an output transform or an output volume or
            both).
            flag: --outputtransform %s
    resampledmovingfilename: (a boolean or a file name)
            Resampled moving image to the fixed image coordinate frame. Optional
            (specify an output transform or an output volume or both).
            flag: --resampledmovingfilename %s
    spatialsamples: (an integer)
            Number of spatial samples to use in estimating Mattes Mutual
            Information. Larger values yield more accurate PDFs and improved
            registration quality.
            flag: --spatialsamples %d
    testingmode: (a boolean)
            Enable testing mode. Input transform will be used to construct
            floating image. The floating image will be ignored if passed.
            flag: --testingmode
    translationscale: (a float)
            Relative scale of translations to rotations, i.e. a value of 100
            means 10mm = 1 degree. (Actual scale used 1/(TranslationScale^2)).
            This parameter is used to 'weight' or 'standardized' the transform
            parameters and their effect on the registration objective function.
            flag: --translationscale %f

Outputs:

    outputtransform: (an existing file name)
            Transform calculated that aligns the fixed and moving image. Maps
            positions in the fixed coordinate frame to the moving coordinate
            frame. Optional (specify an output transform or an output volume or
            both).
    resampledmovingfilename: (an existing file name)
            Resampled moving image to the fixed image coordinate frame. Optional
            (specify an output transform or an output volume or both).
