Tracking Medical 3D Data with a Deformable Parametric Model

چکیده
We present a new approach to surface tracking applied to 3D medical data with a deformable model. It is based on a parametric model composed of a superquadric t followed by a Free-Form Deformation (FFD), that gives a compact representation of a set of points in a 3D image. We present three diierent approaches to track surfaces in a sequence of 3D cardiac images. From the tracking, we infer quantitative parameters which are useful for the physician, like the ejection fraction, the variation of the heart wall thickness and of the volume during a cardiac cycle or the torsion component in the deformation of the ventricle. Experimental results are shown for automatic shape tracking and motion analysis of a time sequence of Nuclear Medicine images.

A Parametric Deformable Model to T Unstructured 3d Data a Parametric Deformable Model to T Unstructured 3d Data
Recovery of unstructured 3D data with deformable models has been the subject of many studies over the last ten years. In particular, in medical image understanding, deformable models are useful to get a precise representation of anatomical structures. However, general deformable models involve large linear systems to solve when dealing with high resolution 3D images. The advantage of parametric...
متن کاملTracking Medical 3d Data with a Parametric Deformable Model
This paper describes a method to t and track surfaces. We suppose that we have already extracted from a 3-D image some data deened by a set of points. The tting step makes use of a superquadric model and solves an inverse problem for free-form deformations. This is then used for tracking surfaces in a time sequence of 3D images. We present diierent approaches to track surfaces in a sequence of ...

Introduction: Nowadays virtual colonoscopy has become a reliable and efficient method of detecting primary stages of colon cancer such as polyp detection. One of the most important and crucial stages of virtual colonoscopy is colon segmentation because an incorrect segmentation may lead to a misdiagnosis. Materials and Methods: In this work, a hybrid method based on Geometric Deformable Models...
متن کاملDeformable B-Solids and Implicit Snakes for 3D Localization and Tracking of SPAMM MRI Data
To date, MRI-SPAMM data from di erent image slices have been analyzed independently. In this paper, we propose an approach for 3D tag localization and tracking of SPAMM data by a novel deformable B-solid. The solid is de ned in terms of a 3D tensor product B-spline. The iso-parametric curves of the B-spline solid have special importance. These are termed implicit snakes as they deform under ima...
