Abstract (EN): Modern medicine has been using imaging as a fundamental tool in a wide range of applications. Consequently, the interest in automated registration of images from either the same or different modalities has increased. In this chapter, computer techniques of image registration are reviewed, and cover both their classification and the main steps involved. Moreover, the more common geometrical transforms, optimization and interpolation algorithms are described and discussed. The clinical applications examined emphases nuclear medicine.
