[Insight-users] Metric Error Measurements

[Rahul Chander]

Hi,
I was wondering if there is a way in ITK to determine the amount of 
uncertainty in registration using a particular registration scheme.  
In other words, lets say I am using MutualInformation metric.  I get 
some results out of the registration process in the form of a 
registered image A.  Now in this image A, is a measurement possible 
that indicates how successful the registration was for a given 
pixel.  I would imagine that this error measurement could be 
implemented differently to suite each metric.  

Such a measurement would help in the validation of the registration 
process itself.  For example, if the error in registration is high 
for a particular portion of the image, then we could be made aware 
of any artifacts being introduced.  In the absence of such a 
measurement, we would "totally" rely on a medical expert to 
qualitatively validate a given registered image.

Any suggestions?
Thanks.
Rahul.
