Image registration is the process of spatially aligning one image to another. It has applications in different areas of medical image analysis. It can be used to assist the investigation of joint kinematics in conditions such as ligament injury, osteoarthritis, and after joint replacement. Analysing the 3D movement of joints after total knee arthroplasty surgery is crucial as the correct position and relative movement of knee implants will significantly impact the success of the surgery.

In this paper, we propose a noninvasive and robust 3D to 2D registration method, which can be used for 3D evaluations of the status of knee implants. This method addresses several challenges with regard to the registration of the implants. The experimental results show that the proposed method is not only robust but also fast.
