The non-rigid registration between CT data and ultrasonic images of liver can facilitate the diagnosis and treatment, which has been widely studied in recent years. To improve the registration accuracy of the Demons model on the non-rigid registration between 3D CT liver data and 2D ultrasonic images, a novel boundary extraction and enhancement method based on radial directional local intuitionistic fuzzy entropy in the polar coordinates has been put forward, and a new registration workflow has been provided. Experiments show that our method can acquire high-accuracy registration results. Experiments also show that the accuracy of the results of our method is higher than that of the original Demons method and the Demons method using simulated ultrasonic image by Field II. The operation time of our registration workflow is about 30 seconds, and it can be used in the surgery.

Multilayer networks have seen a resurgence under the umbrella of deep learning. Current deep learning algorithms train the layers of the network sequentially, improving algorithmic performance as well as providing some regularization. We present a new training algorithm for deep networks which trains \emph{each node in the network} sequentially. Our algorithm is orders of magnitude faster, creates more interpretable internal representations at the node level, while not sacrificing on the ultimate out-of-sample performance.
