Hi everyone,
I have some questions about Slicer Registration Library Case #6: Breast MRI Cancer Treatment. (https://www.slicer.org/wiki/Documentation:Nightly:Registration:RegistrationLibrary:RegLib_C06

1. Does the mask really make sense dealing with this situation? If it does work, is this tumor recession situation similar to the tumor resection problem? (I have searched the RegistrationLibrary but tumor resection related case is still under construction) Can I use the method in Case #6 to register preoperative and post-surgical breast MRI?

2. Is the B-Spline Transform in General Registration (BRAINS) based on image intensity by default? Is there any similarity metrics based on the texture such as adipose, mammary gland or fibro glandular tissue? Where can I know more details about the registration elements like the optimization method?
I am a novice in registration field and happy to find 3DSlicer which helps me a lot.
Hope for any kind help or comment, thanks a lot!
