MGRegBench: A Novel Benchmark Dataset with Anatomical Landmarks for Mammography Image Registration
Robust mammography registration is essential for clinically relevant applications like tracking disease progression in breast tissue. However, progress has been limited by the absence of transparent public datasets and reproducible standardized benchmarks. Existing studies are often not directly comparable, as they use private data and inconsistent evaluation frameworks. To address this, we present MGRegBench, a patient-disjoint, leakage-controlled evaluation protocol for mammography registration, comprising over 5,000 image pairs, each with a breast segmentation mask, and 100 pairs with manually annotated anatomical landmarks, plus standardized train/evaluation splits and ready-to-run baselines. Using this resource, we benchmark diverse registration methods -- including classical (ANTs), learning-based (VoxelMorph, TransMorph), implicit neural representation (IDIR), a mammography-specific approach, and a recent deep learning method MammoRegNet, with implementations adapted to this modality, and validate generalization on the independent SDM-MCs dataset. Our contributions are: (1) the first public dataset of this scale with manual landmarks and masks for mammography registration; (2) a transparent, leakage-controlled benchmark enabling the first like-for-like comparison of diverse classical and machine learning-based methods; (3) external validation on SDM-MCs to test whether the main trend transfers beyond MGRegBench; and (4) an extensive analysis of deep learning-based registration. We publicly release our code and data to establish a foundational resource for fair, reproducible, and clinically relevant comparisons and catalyze future research in AI-driven medical imaging.
