Strain quantifies local deformation of a solid body. In medical imaging, strain reflects how tissue deforms under load. Or, it can quantify growth or atrophy of tissue, such as the growth of a tumor. Additionally, strain from the transformation that results from image-to-image registration can be applied as an input to a biomechanical constitutive model.This document describes N-dimensional computation of strain tensor images in the Insight Toolkit (ITK), www.itk.org. Two filters are described. The first filter computes a strain tensor image from a displacement field image. The second filter computes a strain tensor image from a general spatial transform. In both cases, infinitesimal, Green-Lagrangian, or Eulerian-Almansi strain can be generated.This paper is accompanied with the source code, input data, parameters and output data that the authors used for validating the algorithm described in this paper. This adheres to the fundamental principle that scientific publications must facilitate reproducibility of the reported results.

Spatially Varying

Summary Objectives: In this paper we are concerned with elastic image registration. Usually, elastic approaches assume constant material parameters and result in a smooth displacement field. However, a constant choice has its shortcomings for images with varying elastic properties, like bones and soft tissue. The proposed method allows forspatially varying material properties. Methods: The proposed variational registration scheme is based on a segmentation of the template image. Individual material properties can be assigned to each segmented region. The proposed variable elastic regulariser leads to a displacement field which is adapted to the locally chosen material properties. Results: The capability of this approach is demonstrated by a synthetic and by real-life examples in two dimensions. For all examples the proposed method is compared to a conventional scheme where the material parameters are constants in the entire image domain. Conclusions: A method for non-parametric registration which supports spatially varying elastic properties such as (in)compressibility or Young’s modulus in certain image regions is proposed. It allows for registration results to be more realistic compared to conventional approaches. Also, for a particular structure, an approximated preservation of volume or shape can be achieved.

Symmetry Criterion

The invisibility criterion which is the standard technique for determining the nature of dislocations seen in the electron microscope can at times lead to erroneous results or at best cause confusion in many cases since the dislocation can still show a residual image if the term is non-zero, or if the edge and screw displacements are anisotropically coupled, or if the dislocation has a mixed character. The symmetry criterion discussed below can be used in conjunction with and in some cases supersede the invisibility criterion for obtaining a valid determination of the nature of the dislocation.The symmetry criterion is based upon the well-known fact that a dislocation, because of the symmetric nature of its displacement field, can show a symmetric image when the dislocation is correctly oriented with respect to the electron beam.
