Effective Feature Learning for 3D Medical Registration via Domain-Specialized DINO Pretraining

arXiv CS.CV

ArXi:2603.14086v1 Announce Type: new Medical image registration is a critical component of clinical imaging workflows, enabling accurate longitudinal assessment, multi-modal data fusion, and image-guided interventions. Intensity-based approaches often struggle with interscanner variability and complex anatomical deformations, whereas feature-based methods offer improved robustness by leveraging semantically informed representations. In this work, we investigate DINO-style self-supervised pre.
