Photoacoustic Registration and Visualization

چکیده
Abstract. Interventional guidance systems require surgical navigation systems to register different tools and technologies together. Standard navigation systems have drawbacks leading to target registration errors (TRE) of around 3mm. This project introduces the photoacoustic (PA) effect as a direct 3D ultrasound (US) to video registration method. We demonstrate its feasibility on both a synthetic phantom and an ex-vivo liver tissue phantom. We achieve an average TRE of 0.8 mm on a synthetic phantom and an average TRE of 1.1 mm on the ex-vivo tissue phantom. We highlight the technical approach to enable this registration method and propose future work to be done.

Photoacoustic imaging is a unique imaging method that involves extracting information from points at different depths, an advantage of ultrasound imaging, while maintaining functional information, a key feature of conventional photo imaging. This makes it easy to add functional images to ultrasound images by adding a laser pulse source to the conventional ultrasound imaging device and detecting...
