Abstract

3D multimodal medical image deformable registration plays a significant role in medical image analysis and diagnosis. However, due to the substantial differences between images of different modalities, registration is challenging and requires high computational costs. Deep learning-based registration methods face these challenges. The primary aim of this paper is to design a 3D multimodal registration network that ensures high-quality registration results while reducing the number of parameters. This study designed a Dual-Encoder More Lightweight Registration Network (DELR-Net). DELR-Net is a low-complexity network that integrates Mamba and ConvNet. The State Space Sequence Module and the Dynamic Large Kernel block are used as the main components of the dual encoders, while the Dynamic Feature Fusion block is used as the main component of the decoder. This study conducted experiments on 3D brain MR images and abdominal MR and CT images. Compared to existing registration methods, DELR-Net achieved better registration results while maintaining a lower number of parameters. Additionally, generalization experiments on other modalities showed that DELR-Net has superior generalization capabilities. DELR-Net significantly improves the limitations of 3D multimodal medical image deformable registration, achieving better registration performance with fewer parameters.
