Meta-Registration: Learning Test-Time Optimization for Single-Pair Image Registration
Neural networks have been proposed for medical image registration by learning, with a substantial amount of training data, the optimal transformations between image pairs. These trained networks can further be optimized on a single pair of test images - known as test-time optimization. This work formulates image registration as a meta-learning algorithm. Such networks can be trained by aligning the training image pairs while simultaneously improving test-time optimization efficacy; tasks which were previously considered two independent training and optimization processes. The proposed meta-registration is hypothesized to maximize the efficiency and effectiveness of the test-time optimization in the "outer" meta-optimization of the networks. For image guidance applications that often are time-critical yet limited in training data, the potentially gained speed and accuracy are compared with classical registration algorithms, registration networks without meta-learning, and single-pair optimization without test-time optimization data. Experiments are presented in this paper using clinical transrectal ultrasound image data from 108 prostate cancer patients. These experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of a meta-registration protocol, which yields significantly improved performance relative to existing learning-based methods. Furthermore, the meta-registration achieves comparable results to classical iterative methods in a fraction of the time, owing to its rapid test-time optimization process.
