Deformable image registration (DIR) is a core problem in medical image analysis; but, unlike labeling decision problems such as classification and segmentation, registration is a problem class that involves stringent physical constraints. Although deep learning methods have made faster registration possible, the resulting models are often difficult to interpret compared to hand-crafted methods with explicit objectives and interpretable physical meaning.

arXiv:2607. 23343v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Intraoperative 2D/3D registration aligns preoperative CT volumes with intraoperative X-ray or fluoroscopic images and is essential for image-guided interventions.

arXiv:2606. 27818v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We present MMD-Reg, a novel correspondence-free approach to point-cloud registration that is differentiable and has linear computational complexity in the number of points.
3D point cloud registration in laparoscopic surgery estimates the transformation between an intraoperative organ reconstructed from video and its preoperative mesh. Because ground-truth transformations are unavailable for real data, supervised networks are trained on synthetic organ pairs.
arXiv:2608. 07340v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Registration-based Few-shot medical image segmentation (RFMIS) aims to generate pseudo-labels for unlabeled images by warping a labeled image through registration.

arXiv:2606. 15837v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Deep neural networks (DNNs) frequently fail to generalize to out-of-distribution (OOD) medical images because of variations in scanners and acquisition protocols.
arXiv:2607. 17810v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Accurate 3D--2D liver registration, which aligns preoperative 3D models to partial, view-dependent intraoperative surface observations, is critical for AR-guided laparoscopic surgery but remains challenging due to severe occlusion, limited visibility, and the lack of 3D ground-truth supervision.
arXiv:2607. 02998v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Controllable generative models of 3D medical images can synthesize volumes with specified clinical attributes, but this demands samples that are simultaneously high-fidelity, natively 3D, and faithful to the requested conditioning.
