However, the automatic registration of liver US and MR images remains Received in revised form a challenging task. An effective local structure orientation descriptor (LSOD) for use in registering 11 June 2016 multimodal images is proposed in this study. Accepted 24 June 2016 Methods: LSOD utilizes a normalized similarity distance vector of intra-image patch pairs to extract intensity change orientations from intensity value changes in a local area. The multimodal similarity Keywords: measure is then derived usi
