NAME

       warpx - B-spline nonrigid registration

SYNOPSIS

       warpx ReferenceImage FloatingImage InitialXform

DESCRIPTION

       This  program  performs nonrigid image registration using multi-resolution optimization of
       voxel-based image similarity  measures  and  a  multi-resolution  B-spline  transformation
       model.
