A Single Image Registration Method for CT Guided Interventions
نویسندگان
چکیده
Minimally invasive image guided interventions are an attractive option for localized therapy delivery and diagnostic biopsy. We have developed a method for CT guided needle placement, based upon the Brown-Roberts -Wells frame, which requires no immobilization or fiducial implantation. A localization module, placed on a needle holding robotic end effector, allows for localization of the effector in the image space using a single CT image. In a theoretical analysis, we show that this registration method has attractive sensitivity and error attenuation properties. Experimentally, the average error in needle tip location over 63 trials was 470 μm; 95% of the errors were below 1.0mm. This method is a fast, accurate, and easily implemented registration method for cross sectional image guided stereotaxis.

A PET/CT Directed, 3D Ultrasound-Guided Biopsy System for Prostate Cancer
Prostate cancer affects 1 in 6 men in the USA. Systematic transrectal ultrasound (TRUS)-guided biopsy is the standard method for a definitive diagnosis of prostate cancer. However, this "blind" biopsy approach can miss at least 20% of prostate cancers. In this study, we are developing a PET/CT directed, 3D ultrasound image-guided biopsy system for improved detection of prostate cancer. In order...
متن کاملA Novel Subsampling Method for 3D Multimodality Medical Image Registration Based on Mutual Information
Mutual information (MI) is a widely used similarity metric for multimodality image registration. However, it involves an extremely high computational time especially when it is applied to volume images. Moreover, its robustness is affected by existence of local maxima. The multi-resolution pyramid approaches have been proposed to speed up the registration process and increase the accuracy of th...
متن کاملNew Pseudo-CT Generation Approach from Magnetic Resonance Imaging using a Local Texture Descriptor
Background: One of the challenges of PET/MRI combined systems is to derive an attenuation map to correct the PET image. For that, the pseudo-CT image could be used to correct the attenuation. Until now, most existing scientific researches construct this pseudo-CT image using the registration techniques. However, these techniques suffer from the local minima of the non-rigid deformation energy f...
متن کاملFast CT-CT fluoroscopy registration with respiratory motion compensation for image-guided lung intervention
CT-fluoroscopy (CTF) is an efficient imaging method for guiding percutaneous lung interventions such as biopsy. During CTF-guided biopsy procedure, four to ten axial sectional images are captured in a very short time period to provide nearly real-time feedback to physicians, so that they can adjust the needle as it is advanced towards the target lesion. Although popularly used in clinics, this ...
متن کامل2D-3D registration using gradient-based MI for image guided surgery systems
Registration of preoperative CT data to intra-operative video images is necessary not only to compare the outcome of the vocal fold after surgery with the preplanned shape but also to provide the image guidance for fusion of all imaging modalities. We propose a 2D-3D registration method using gradient-based mutual information. The 3D CT scan is aligned to 2D endoscopic images by finding the cor...
