Realtime Integral Videography Using Intra-operative 3-d Ultrasound for Minimally Invasive Heart Surgery

چکیده
This paper presents a realtime threedimensional surgical navigation system using Integral Videography (IV) with intra-operative ultrasound data acquisition for minimally invasive heart surgery. We used a trans-vaginal ultrasound transducer with volume data acquisition rate of 5 volumes/second. Experiments using a human hand as phantom showed that the online IV image frame rate is around 2 frames/second. As attemps to further increase system performance, the use of interpolation profile has resulted in significant decrease in coordinate transformation time, while the use of smart multi-threading has completely resolved performance decrease due to non-uniform

Generation of Synthetic 4D Cardiac CT Images for Guidance of Minimally Invasive Beating Heart Interventions
Off-pump beating heart surgery requires a guidance system that would show both pertinent cardiac anatomy and dynamic motion both periand intra-operatively. Optimally, the guidance system should show high quality images and models in a cost-effective way and can be easily integrated into standard clinical workflow. However, such a goal is difficult to accomplish by a single image modality. In th...
متن کاملHigh Quality Autostereoscopic Surgical Display Using Anti-aliased Integral Videography Imaging
This paper presents an autostereoscopic three-dimensional (3-D) surgical display with high quality integral videography (IV) rendering algorithm. IV is an animated extension of integral photography, which provides 3-D images without using any supplementary glasses or tracking devices. Despite IV’s many advantages, the quality of its spatial image has thus far been poor. We developed a high qual...
متن کاملEnabling 3D Ultrasound Procedure Guidance through Enhanced Visualization
Real-time 3D ultrasound (3DUS) imaging offers improved spatial orientation information relative to 2D ultrasound. However, in order to improve its efficacy in guiding minimally invasive intra-cardiac procedures where realtime visual feedback of an instrument tip location is crucial, 3DUS volume visualization alone is inadequate. This paper presents a set of enhanced visualization functionalitie...
متن کاملHigh-Resolution Stereoscopic Surgical Display Using Parallel Integral Videography and Multi-projector
This paper proposes a high-resolution stereoscopic surgical display using the integral videography (IV) and multiple projectors. IV projects a computer generated graphical object by multiple rays through “fly’s eye lens”, which can display geometrically accurate autostereoscopic images and reproduce motion parallax in three-dimensional (3-D) space. This technique requires neither special glasse...
متن کاملComparison of pre-operative bilirubin level in simple appendicitis and perforated appendicitis
Background: Delay in diagnosis and treatment of perforated appendicitis may cause life-threatening complications. The aim of this study was to determine and compare pre-operative total and direct bilirubin levels in cases of simple and perforated acute appendicitis in order to improve the clinical decision making. Methods: This prospective observational study included eighty patients who ...
