[MINC-users] optizing minctracc parameters for heart data

[Audette, Michel]

Hi all, 

after registering inner ear data, I'm now playing with cardiac data. I have preop CT and DynaCT  data to register. Can anyone comment about the appropriateness of the default w_translations w_rotations and step parameters appropriate for this anatomy? 

One of the two data sets spans a good part of the chest, but the registration can probably be determined by the heart and aorta alone, and perhaps incrementally improved with masks based on the coronary arteries and aorta. 

Cheers,

Michel
