Utilizing Segmented MRI Data in Image-Guided Surgery

چکیده
While the role and utility of Magnetic Resonance Images as a diagnostic tool is well established in current clinical practice, there are a number of emerging medical arenas in which MRI can play an equally important role. In this article, we consider the problem of image-guided surgery, and provide an overview of a series of techniques that we have recently developed in order to automatically utilize MRI-based anatomical reconstructions for surgical guidance and navigation.

متن کاملAn automatic registration method for frameless stereotaxy, image guided surgery, and enhanced reality visualization
There is a need for frameless guidance systems to help surgeons plan the exact location for incisions, to define the margins of tumors, and to precisely identify locations of neighboring critical structures. The authors have developed an automatic technique for registering clinical data, such as segmented magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or computed tomography (CT) reconstructions, with any vie...
متن کاملAutomatic identification of gray matter structures from MRI to improve the segmentation of white matter lesions.
The segmentation of MRI scans of patients with white matter lesions (WML) is difficult because the MRI characteristics of WML are similar to those of gray matter. Intensity-based statistical classification techniques misclassify some WML as gray matter and some gray matter as WML. We developed a fast elastic matching algorithm that warps a reference data set containing information about the loc...
متن کاملComputer-assisted image-guided surgery using the Regulus Navigator.
The term "frameless image-guided surgery" has become as well-known to surgeons as computerized tomography or operating room microscope over the past several years. The technologies behind this new surgery option include robotic arms, infra-red camera arrays (1D and 2D), ultrasound, robotic microscopes and magnetic field digitizers. The authors have shown the magnetic field technology incorporat...
متن کاملPseudo-CT Generation from Magnetic Resonance Imaging by fuzzy look up table algorithm
Introduction: Despite growing interest in the use of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the external radiotherapy design process (RT), Computer Tomography (CT) remains a gold standard and is regarded as a basic imaging modality in radiotherapy. MRI shows the high contrast in soft tissues without any radiation exposure to patients. As a result, MRI is used in functional tissue ...
