Thanks a lot, Nick. They were very helpful. One thing I couldn't yet verify is the unit of MI. Can you confirm what the unit of MI is? Thanks, Niousha

Hi Nick, Thanks for your previous response. I have another question, which I'm a bit confused about. If the MI score of an image with itself = -0.32, how would you explain this number and what does that mean? Also how does this number normally get reported? (i.e. should it be converted to percentage or the value by itself gets reported) Thanks, Niousha

I see, Can you tell me the range that one could choose for radius of CC? and what's the selection of this number depend on?

Hi Nick, thanks for the info. I tested the MI on a pair of identical image (as a test). Using the numberOfBins= 32 I got -0.9178, while using numberOfBins=50 I got -0.9656. Although in one of the papers above, the default value was mentioned to be 32 but 50 gave me a lower number. So is there any rule for chosing the numberOfBins? Or should you always perform a test just similar to what I did and then keep the same setting for the lowest value that you obtained for the rest of the images? Also if...

Thanks Nick, I was able to get the software on a Linux OS. Thanks a lot for that. I know there are lots of articles available regarding ANTs usage, but to facilitates things a bit better, I was wondering if you could specifically suggests articles that deal with the following parametrs so I would know what they mean and how to use them: metric Weight, sampling strategy, sampling percentage, and radius. Also is there any article that you would suggest where I could find the difference between each...

Hi there, I have another question about ImageSimilarityMeasure that I wanted to ask. Can we input mask images in addition to the original image to get the MI score (let's say if we were only interested in a particular area of the image and not the entire image)? When I search for --help, there is only instructions for inputting the fixed and moving images and not their masked ones. Please let me know the format using which I can input the maks images as well or kindly suggest any alternatives you...

I have Windows 7. Do you have suggestions/ instructions for Windows 7? Thanks, Niousha

I downloaded the package on June 26, 2017 from https://github.com/stnava/ANTs/releases. Can you please provide a link that instructs me on how to update the package? Thanks, Niousha
