The accuracy of ultrasound/computed tomography (CT) image registration is the key to ultrasound-guided intervention. Thus, the aim of this study is to address the limitation of current image similarity measures to evaluate the accuracy of ultrasound/CT image registration correctly. In this study, an ultrasound/CT image registration method based on simulated transformation optimization is presented. The approach initially preprocesses the ultrasound/CT images for registration through the tensor principal component analysis method to reduce the influence of noise on registration accuracy. Multiscale enhancement algorithm is also adopted to enhance the tubular structures of the CT images. Simulated transformation optimization based on the CT images is then provided. Afterward, given the ultrasonic imaging parameter estimates, the method captures a CT section to obtain ultrasonic images by simulation. The ultrasonic simulation is introduced into the image similarity measure, and the simulation transformation correlation measure is established. The transformation matrix is optimized by the conjugate direction acceleration algorithm to realize the fast and accurate registration of the ultrasound/CT image. Experimental results demonstrate that when Correlation of Simulation Transformation is employed as the similarity measure, the variation range of the six parameters in the transformation matrix is ±0.01, and the ultrasound/CT image registration method based on simulated transformation optimization can rapidly and accurately register ultrasound/CT images. The accurate registration of ultrasound/CT images enables the combination between real-time ultrasonic images and preoperative CT images. Hence, it has the potential to be utilized for ultrasound-guided surgical navigation in clinical practice.
