Bayesian deep learning models enable safer utilization in MRI, improve generalization and assess the uncertainty of the predictions. We propose a non-parametric Bayesian method to estimate the uncertainty in MRI registration and assess its correlation with the out-of-distribution data.
Fig. 1: Block diagram of
the proposed Bayesian registration system. μ and σ are the mean and standard deviation of the deformation.
Table 1: Registration evaluation results. The added noise
levels are denoted by σ and α, respectively. The mean and std, calculated over
the test set, are presented for three different anatomical structures (from top
to bottom: R inferior frontal gyrus, L precentral gyrus, L lateral
orbitofrontal gyrus).
