FDG-PET Imaging in Cervical Cancer.

abstract：:Image registration is finding increased clinical use both in aiding diagnosis and guiding therapy. There are numerous algorithms for registration, which all involve maximizing a measure of similarity between a transformed floating image and a fixed reference image. The choice of the similarity measure depends, to some...
