Medical image registration is becoming a more and more useful component of a large number of applications. The presented method aims to enrich the ITK library. This method, called Morphon registration algorithm, computes a dense deformation field accepting inputs from different intensity contrasts. This article presents its implementation within the Insight Toolkit. In this paper, we provide a brief description of the algorithm, a presentation of the implementation, the justification of our modified classes and the results given by the algorithm. We demonstrate the algorithm in application of different images intesity constrasts and dimensions.
