Traditional deformable registration methods have achieved impressive performances but are computationally time-consuming since they have to optimize an objective function for each new pair of images. Very recently some learning-based approaches have been proposed to enable fast registration by learning to estimate the spatial transformation parameters directly from the input images. Here we present a method for 3D fast pairwise registration of brain MR images. We model the deformation function with B-splines and learn the optimal control points using a U-Net like CNN architecture. An inverse-consistency loss has been used to enforce diffeomorphicity of the deformation. The proposed algorithm does not require supervised information such as segmented labels but some can be used to help the registration process. We also implemented several strategies to account for the multi-resolution nature of the problem. The method has been evaluated on MICCAI 2012 brain MRI datasets, and evaluated on both similarity and invertibility of the computed transformation.
