Non-rigid image registration plays a significant role in computer-aided diagnosis and surgical navigation for brain diseases. Registration methods that utilize convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have shown excellent accuracy when applied to brain magnetic resonance images (MRI). However, CNNs have...
