Rigid body registration is one of the simplest forms of image registration, so this chapter provides an ideal framework for introducing some of the concepts that will be used by the more complex registration methods described later. The shape of a human brain changes very little with head movement, so rigid body transformations can be used to model different head positions of the same subject. Registration methods described in this chapter include within modality, or between different modalities such as positron emission tomography (PET). and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Matching of two images is performed by finding the rotations and translations that optimize some mutual function of the images. Within-modality registration generally involves matching the images by minimizing the mean squared difference between them. For between-modality registration, the matching criterion needs to be more complex. Image registration is important in many aspects of functional image analysis. In imaging neuroscience, particularly for functional MRI (fMRI), the signal changes due to any haemodynamic response can be small compared to apparent signal differences that can result from subject movement. Subject head movement in the scanner cannot be completely eliminated, so retrospective motion correction is performed as a preprocessing step. This is especially important for experiments where subjects may move in the scanner in a way that is correlated with the different conditions (Hajnal et al., 1994). Even tiny systematic differences can result in a significant signal accumulating over numerous scans. Without suitable corrections, artefacts arising from subject movement correlated with the experimental paradigm may appear as activations. A second reason why motion correction is important is that it increases sensitivity. The t-test is based on the signal change relative to the residual variance. The residual variance is computed form the sum Statistical Parametric Mapping, by Karl Friston et al.
