Add `register_niftyreg` as the sixth rigid CT→T1c pipeline using
`reg_aladin` (symmetric block matching + trimmed least squares, NCC
similarity). Runs natively via `conda install -c conda-forge niftyreg`;
no Docker required.
Change the benchmark's primary reported metric from geometric skull-ring
QA to the achieved Mattes MI (`mi_ct_mr`, nats) between the warped CT
and the original MR over the MR head. Geometric QA fields are still
recorded per case in the JSON output.
Raise the SimpleITK benchmark-mode optimizer budget from 150 to 2000
iterations per pyramid level so all toolkits are compared on an equal
iteration footing.
Update `REGISTRATION_BENCHMARK.md` (five→six pipelines, niftyreg row,
elastix bin count 10→32), `AGENTS.md` (toolkit list), and
`bench_registration.py` docstrings/usage accordingly.
Introduce the third segmentation pipeline using MONAI (1.6.x) to allow
direct comparison with Pipelines A and B. This includes the implementation
of the iterative pseudo-labeling workflow, training scripts, and
inference protocols.
- Add `scripts_monai/` directory containing the MONAI pipeline scripts.
- Update documentation in `README.md` and `AGENTS.md` to include MONAI
package requirements and pipeline details.
- Configure `.gitignore` to exclude MONAI-specific run directories.
- Update data directory descriptions to include MONAI pseudo-labels.
