Abstract
For a mixed integer programming formulation of the problem of registering two medical images we propose a geometric Branch & Bound algorithm, which applies a geometric branching strategy on the transformation variables. The results show that medium sized problem instances can be solved to global optimality in a reasonable amount of time.
