Abstract
Using DICOM it has become much easier to exchange images between different manufacturer's equipment, which is essential to clinically implement image registration. Therefore, first a simple introduction to DICOM will be given, in which the advantages of DICOM and some of its deficiencies are explained. Image registration algorithms can be grouped in two main categories: volume registration and chamfer matching algorithms. The merits and drawbacks of both possibilities will be discussed.
