a Average surface distance (ASD) and b Hausdorff (HD) results for registrations applied to 64 patients. The figures include the median (thick horizontal line), interquartile ranges (large boxes), maximums/minimums without outliers (vertical lines from large boxes) and raw data points (filled circles). The median pairwise percentage difference (%Diff) between the indicated registrations is provided alongside the Z-values (Z) and p-values (p) from exact Wilcoxon signed-rank tests of a median of zero for the pairwise percentage difference. The difference was calculated as the registration on the left subtract the registration on the right and this difference was expressed as a percentage of the registration on the right. A significant negative percentage difference in ASD indicates that the registration on the left is superior. A significant positive percentage difference in HD indicates that the registration on the right is superior. See the abbreviations list or the non-rigid registration section of the methods section for information about D, HS, V1 and V2
