ANTs registration UI - graphical interface to the Advanced Normalization Toolbox

Requirements

Python 3.8 or higher is required to run this user interface

Installation

In your python environment run pip install git+https://github.com/thladnik/ants_registration_ui in a terminal/command prompt

Starting the user interface

From the terminal/command prompt call antsui

Basic usage

This simple user interface is designed to help with anatomical registration, using the Advanced Normalization Toolbox for Python (ANTsPy), for users without programming experience or in cases where registration results may rely heavily on the initial transform.

• 3D alignment: align the moving stack (green) to the reference stack (red) using keyboard controls:
  • W/A: front/back
  • A/D: left/right
  • X/C: up/down
  • Q/E: rotate around Z-axis CCW/CW
• 2D alignment: same controls as in 3D alignment. View is based on selected layer in the moving stack (slider)
• Show 2D alignment: map the moving stack into the references stack coordinate system using the ANTs transform that will be used as init_transform when running the registration
• Configure registration: set all ANTs registration parameters and run the transform
• Show 2D registration: display the registration result in 2D
• Show 3D registration: display the registration result in 3D
