DRAMMS Image Registration Toolbox

Introduction: DRAMMS is a software package designed for 2D-to-2D and 3D-to-3D deformable medical image registration tasks.


Software development: Yangming Ou, Andreas Schuh, Aris Sotiras, Christos Davatzikos (advisor).

Algorithm authors: Yangming Ou, Aris Sotiras, Nikos Paragios, Christos Davatzikos.

Released by: Section of Biomedical Image Analysis (SBIA), University of Pennsylvania


Download: sourceforge folder dramms-1.4.1 (https://sourceforge.net/p/dramms/code/ci/master/tree/)

or DRAMMS website (http://www.rad.upenn.edu/sbia/software/dramms/download.html)

Installation: http://www.rad.upenn.edu/sbia/software/dramms/installation.html

Applications: Some typical applications of DRAMMS include, but are not subject to,

  • Cross-subject registration of the same organ (can be brain, breast, cardiac, etc);
  • Mono- and Multi-modality registration (MRI, CT, histology);
  • Longitudinal registration (pediatric brain growth, cancer development, mouse brain development, etc);
  • Registration under missing correspondences (e.g., vascular lesions, tumors, histological cuts).

Features:

  • Fully-automatic --- no need for segmentation or any prior knowledge or user-initialization/intervention;
  • User-friendly --- two input images, two output (the registered image and the deformaiton field);
  • Generality --- default parameters work reasonably well for most cases (raw images, preprocessed images, multi-site data, etc)

Environment: runs in UNIX/Mac, takes Nifti/ANALYZE/MetaImage format.
