Thats a unique idea.You should consider the following idea to enhance your idea so that it would impact uniquely: Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) studies are derived from a time series of Echo-Planar images (EPIs). Compared to conventional Magnetic Resonance Images (MRIs), EPIs are of relatively poor quality for dis- cerning anatomic features and are often registered with corresponding MRIs to map brain activity to neuroanatomy.   demonstrate the utility of a technique to register an EPI-MRI pair by minimizing the discrepancy beten its joint intensity probability mass function (PMF) and a previously learned one for a properly registered EPI-MRI pair, using the Kullback-Leibler Distance (KLD). In probing experiments Joint Entropy (JE) and Mutual Information shod significant bias relative to KLD along the axial direction and JE along a rotation axis. A comparison of searches using random starting poses shod KLD to have lor final pose errors than JE. Results of variation on parameters of the KLD based EPI-MRI registration technique are also presented.

I am writing a research paper on a idea Rigid Registration of Echoplanar and Conventional Magnetic Resonance Images by Minimizing the Kullback-Leibler Distance.
