Medical image registration plays an important part in most today’s clinical procedures. Registration goal is to find transformation which warps one image into the space of another. Registration of moving organs in human body has a significant part in therapy planning. This task is harder in cases when one organ (tissue) slides along another, i.e. in a case of discontinuities in the motion field. Discontinuities introduce unwanted transformations which often lead to poor or unsatisfied registration results. In this paper we evaluate one form of discontinuities for two well-known and used registration algorithms namely Free Form Deformation and Demons.
