Immersive Virtual Colonoscopy
Virtual Colonoscopy (VC) is an established noninvasive alternative to optical colonoscopy for colorectal cancer screening. Currently, radiologists examine VC data sets on a workstation computer using a single screen and simple navigation tools. The limited field of view increases examination time and introduces tedious interaction modalities. We propose conducting VC examinations inside an imme...
متن کاملVirtually Assisted Optical Colonoscopy
We present a set of tools used to enhance the optical colonoscopy procedure in a novel manner with the aim of improving both the accuracy and efficiency of this procedure. In order to better present the colon information to the gastroenterologist performing a conventional (optical) colonoscopy, we undistort the radial distortion of the fisheye view of the colonoscope. The radial distortion is m...
متن کاملUsing Optical Flow Fields for Polyp Detection in Virtual Colonoscopy
Since the introduction of Computed Tomographic Colonography (CTC), research has mainly focused on visualization and navigation techniques. Recently, efforts have shifted towards computer aided detection (CAD) of polyps. We propose a new approach to CAD in CT images that attempts to model the way a radiologist recognizes a polyp using optical flow fields (OFF). Features extracted from OFFs are u...
متن کاملCo-Registration of Virtual and Optical Colonoscopy Views
While optical colonoscopy (OC) is still considered the gold standard and is necessary for performing polypectomies when required, virtual colonoscopy (VC) systems present certain advantages over the traditional OC, such as increased coverage of the colon wall and the ability to utilize computer-aided detection (CAD) techniques. In order to leverage the abilities provided by both OC and VC, a me...
متن کاملVirtual Colonoscopy Powered by VolumePro
Virtual colonoscopy is a non-invasive method for detecting polyps inside the colon. We developed a virtual colonoscopy system on a high-end 16-processor SGI Challenge with an expensive hardware graphics accelerator. To increase its availability for mass screening, we ported the system to a low cost PC. Since interactivity is critical in such an application, we took the advantage of the recently...
