Hi all,

I want to incorporate contour information with intensity-based registration in Elastix (“MultiMetricMultiResolutionRegistration”). I have one corresponding segments (breast gland) both in pre-operative and post-operative CT images. And my goal is to register two CT data sets with MI, while simultaneously registering the corresponding segments (binary images) with the kappa statistic (mentioned as [Metric “AdvancedKappaStatistic”](https://elastix.lumc.nl/doxygen/parameter.html) in Elastix, and the explanation is attached below). However, there is little information on how to implement this.

 ![01](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/slicer/original/3X/b/7/b7ecb2832a340043426032d79906d99d28eab015.jpeg)

Could you give some suggestions? Or is there any other way to better use the additional contour information. Thanks a lot!

Sincerely,

Crayon
