<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>From the ITK software guide, it seems to indicate
that the metric value should get smaller (more negative) as the iteration
increases. However, that's not the case for me....</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am very confused. I've posted many
questions here but no answer.... Please help!!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanx!!</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi there,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am using
itkmattesMutualInformationImagetoImageMetric, and I am wondering if the mutual
information value approaching toward 0 (it's always negative), does that mean
a better regirtration transformation?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanx!</FONT></DIV>
