Study of CT/MRI Mutual Information Based Registration Applied in Brachytherapy

The present work aims to include magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in a Medical Image-based Graphical platfOrm Brachytherapy module (AMIGOBrachy) which coupled to the Monte Carlo N-Particle (MCNP6) code allows absorbed dose calculations. Computed tomography (CT) and MRI images were registered using mutual information algorithms to improve tissue segmentation potentially leading to a more accurate treatment planning system
