Image registration of computed tomography of lung infected with COVID-19 using an improved sine cosine algorithm

Abstract

In recent years, the optimization problem using meta-heuristic algorithms has been widely used in medical image registration and was a solution in diagnosing many diseases and tumors. Given the great success achieved by the sine cosine algorithm (SCA) and particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithms in many medical images analysis, and the use of the computed tomography (CT) scan images for diagnosing COVID-19 patients, we propose an improved sine cosine algorithm (ISCA) resulting from the hybridization of the SCA and PSO algorithms to register the CT images of the lung of the people infected by COVID-19. Simulation results show that the proposed approach can achieve high accuracy and robust recording compared to the SCA method. Graphical abstract

Sine Cosine Algorithm for Elite Individual Collaborative Search and Its Application in Mechanical Optimization Designs

“…A hybrid multi-objective firefly algorithm and sine cosine algorithm was proposed [40], in which the results show that the modified algorithm was effective for multi-objective optimization problems. A improved sine cosine algorithm hybridized with a particle swarm algorithm for recording lung CT images of COVID-19 infected patients was proposed [41], which had a high practicality in the field of medical image alignment.…”

“…Besides photo images the image registration problem has already been considered for several medical diagnosis techniques such as mass spectrometry imaging (MSI), 19 computed tomography (CT), 20 and the combination of CT images and ultrasound images. 21 Each type of image comes along with its own challenges.…”
