چکیده

As part of the ITK v4 project efforts, we have developed ITK filters for physics-based non-rigid registration (PBNRR), which satisfies the following requirements: account for tissue properties in the registration, improve accuracy compared to rigid registration, and reduce execution time using GPU and multi-core accelerators. The implementation has three main components: (1) Feature Point Selection, (2) Block Matching (mapped to both multi-core and GPU processors), and (3) a Robust Finite Element Solver. The use of multi-core and GPU accelerators in ITK v4 provides substantial performance improvements. For example, for the non-rigid registration of brain MRIs, the performance of the block matching filter on average is about 10 times faster when 12 hyperthreaded multi-cores are used and about 83 times faster when the NVIDIA Tesla GPU is used in Dell Workstation.

Accurate and fast deformable medical image registration for brain tumor resection using image-guided neurosurgery

We present a Parallel Adaptive Physics-Based Non-Rigid Registration framework for aligning preoperative to intra-operative brain Magnetic Resonance Images (MRI) of patients who have undergone a tumor resection. This framework extends our earlier work on the Physics-Based methods by using an adaptive, multi-material, parallel Finite Element (FE) biomechanical model to describe the physical defor...

Compensation of brain shift during surgery using non-rigid registration of MR and ultrasound images

Background: Surgery and accurate removal of the brain tumor in the operating room and after opening the scalp is one of the major challenges for neurosurgeons due to the removal of skull pressure and displacement and deformation of the brain tissue. This displacement of the brain changes the location of the tumor relative to the MR image taken preoperatively. Methods: This study, which is done...

Quantifying the intraoperative brain deformation using interventional MR imaging

The increasing use of image guided surgery systems for neurosurgery has lead to considerable recent interest in quantifying brain deformation during neurosurgery, Traditional image guided neurosurgery systems determine the rigid body transformation between pre-operative images and an intraoperative coordinate system (eg.: defined by an optical localiser). These systems can be very accurate, esp...

بهبود سرعت "انطباق مبتنی بر روش برش گراف" جهت انطباق غیر صلب تصاویر تشدید مغناطیسی مغز

Image processing methods, which can visualize objects inside the human body, are of special interests. In clinical diagnosis using medical images, integration of useful data from separate images is often desired. The images have to be geometrically aligned for better observation. The procedure of mapping points from the reference image to corresponding points in the floating image is called Ima...
