N2 - In this paper we address the problem of brain image registration, and we present a new, nonlinear registration technique. In the first step of our technique we obtain a point-to-point mapping between the outer cortical contours of the brain images using an elastic string algorithm. In the second step we register the two images based on the point-to-point correspondence established in the first step. We propose a new, nonlinear registration transformation, which is based on a spatially variable scaling and rotation that can describe highly nonlinear deformations. Finally, we test our algorithm on two different registration problems.
