Nonrigid image registration in shared-memory multiprocessor environments with application to brains, breasts, and bees.

One major problem with nonrigid image registration techniques is their high computational cost. Because of this, these methods have found limited application to clinical situations where fast execution is required, e.g., intraoperative imaging. This paper presents a parallel implementation of a nonr...
