Registration validation remains a challenging problem in practice mainly due to lack of 'ground truth'. In this paper, an overview of current validation methods for medical image registration is presented with detailed discussion of their benefits and drawbacks. Special focus is on non-rigid registration validation. Promising solution is also discussed.展开更多

Methods: The 51 outpatients were treated by basic recipe for massage treatment and modified recipe according to syndromes. Results: The total Athens Insomnia Scale (AIS) score 3.2800±1.5784 after treatment is lower than 9.2400±1.4286 before treatment (P<0.01), there is statistical difference in AIS scores before and after treatment. Conclusion: TCM massage can remarkably improve sleep condition of infants with dyssomnia.展开更多
