Abstract

Uncertainty estimation in medical image registration enables surgeons to evaluate the operative risk based on the trustworthiness of the registered image data thus of paramount importance for practical clinical applications. Despite the recent promising results obtained with deep unsupervised learning-based registration methods, reasoning about uncertainty of unsupervised registration models remains largely unexplored. In this work, we propose a predictive module to learn the registration and uncertainty in correspondence simultaneously. Our framework introduces empirical randomness and registration error based uncertainty prediction. We systematically assess the performances on two MRI datasets with different ensemble paradigms. Experimental results highlight that our proposed framework significantly improves the registration accuracy and uncertainty compared with the baseline.
