The continuous development and innovation in medical imaging techniques provide clinicians new ways for improved health care services. Despite improvement in health care services, several issues and challenges in medical image analysis are still present. Image registration is one of the most important tasks in medical image analysis and is the most critical step in several clinical applications. In this paper, medical image registration, which effectively integrate complementary and valuable information from multiple imaging resources and represent them in a single more informative image, is introduced. This paper covers the most prominent state-of-the-art issues and challenges in medical image registration and suggests some possible solutions. Moreover, the factors affecting the accuracy, reliability and efficiency of registration techniques are presented. An improved health care service is difficult to achieve until all the issues and challenges in medical image registration are identified and subsequently solved.
