We present a new algorithm for multi-modal symmetric
diffeomorphic image registration and propose a
validation protocol, based on existing manually
annotated datasets, to quantitatively evaluate
multi-modal image registration algorithms. Our
validation protocol reveals that the Cross Correlation
(CC) metric may be severely affected in the multi-modal
case even though it has proven to be one of the most
robust and accurate metrics for mono-modal registration.
Our algorithm is based on the Symmetric Normalization
(SyN) algorithm. It compares favourably with SyN with CC
(in the multi-modal case) and is very competitive with
SyN with Mutual Information.
