Automatic landmark correspondence detection in medical images with an application to deformable image registration

Purpose: Deformable image registration (DIR) can benefit from additional guidance using corresponding landmarks in the images. However, the benefits thereof are largely understudied, especially due to the lack of automatic landmark detection methods for three-dimensional (3D) medical images. Approach: We present a deep convolutional neural...
