Endoscopy-MR Image Fusion for Image Guided Procedures
Minimally invasive endoscope based abdominal procedures provide potential advantages over conventional open surgery such as reduced trauma, shorter hospital stay, and quick recovery. One major limitation of using this technique is the narrow view of the endoscope and the lack of proper 3D context of the surgical site. In this paper, we propose a rapid and accurate method to align intraoperative...
متن کاملUsing 3D dosimetry to quantify the Electron Return Effect (ERE) for MR-image-guided radiation therapy (MR-IGRT) applications
Image-guided radiation therapy (IGRT) using computed tomography (CT), conebeam CT, MV on-board imager (OBI), and kV OBI systems have allowed for more accurate patient positioning prior to each treatment fraction. While these imaging modalities provide excellent bony anatomy image quality, MRI surpasses them in soft tissue image contrast for better visualization and tracking of soft tissue tumor...
متن کاملSuperconducting open-configuration MR imaging system for image-guided therapy.
PURPOSE To develop a superconducting magnetic resonance (MR) imager that provides direct access to the patient and permits interactive MR-guided interventional procedures. MATERIALS AND METHODS A 0.5-T superconducting magnet that allows a region of vertical access to the patient was designed and constructed. This magnet was integrated with newly designed shielded gradient coils, flexible surf...
متن کاملReal-time active MR-tracking of metallic stylets in MR-guided radiation therapy.
PURPOSE To develop an active MR-tracking system to guide placement of metallic devices for radiation therapy. METHODS An actively tracked metallic stylet for brachytherapy was constructed by adding printed-circuit micro-coils to a commercial stylet. The coil design was optimized by electromagnetic simulation, and has a radio-frequency lobe pattern extending ∼5 mm beyond the strong B0 inhomoge...
متن کاملComparison of state-of-the-art atlas-based bone segmentation approaches from brain MR images for MR-only radiation planning and PET/MR attenuation correction
Introduction: Magnetic Resonance (MR) imaging has emerged as a valuable tool in radiation treatment (RT) planning as well as Positron Emission Tomography (PET) imaging owing to its superior soft-tissue contrast. Due to the fact that there is no direct transformation from voxel intensity in MR images into electron density, itchr('39')s crucial to generate a pseudo-CT (Computed Tomography) image ...
