Abstract

Deep learning (DL) image registration methods amortize the costly pair-wise iterative optimization by training deep neural networks to predict the optimal transformation in one fast forward-pass. In this work, we bridge the gap between traditional iterative energy optimization-based registration and network-based registration, and propose Gradient Descent Network for Image Registration (GraDIRN). Our proposed approach trains a DL network that embeds unrolled multi-resolution gradient-based energy optimization in its forward pass, which explicitly enforces image dissimilarity minimization in its update steps. Extensive evaluations were performed on registration tasks using 2D cardiac MR and 3D brain MR images. We demonstrate that our approach achieved state-of-the-art registration performance while using fewer learned parameters, with good data efficiency and domain robustness.
