3D/2D Registration via Skeletal Near Projective Invariance in Tubular Objects
We present a method of 3D/2D image registration. The algorithm is based on the property of near projective invariance in tubular objects. The skeletons of tubular anatomical structures (e.g., intracerebral blood vessels) are used as registration primitives. Experiments with Magnetic Resonance Angiogram (MRA) patient studies and both simulated and actual X-ray angiograms suggest that the algorit...
متن کاملExtraction of Coronary Vessel Structures in Low Quality X-ray Angiogram Images
We studied an automatic model based segmentation method extracting blood vessels in poor quality coronary angiograms. This method employs circular sampling method to extract blood vessels in the angiograms and exploits the spatial coherence existing in the image. Here, a 2D pattern matching method is used because 3D model based pattern matching methods are expensive and complex processes compar...
متن کاملComparison of Simultaneous
Accurate 3D/2D vessel registration is complicated by issues of image quality, occlusion, and other problems. This study performs a quantitative comparison of 3D/2D vessel registration in which vessels segmented from preoperative CT or MR are registered with biplane x-ray angiograms by either a) simultaneous two-view registration with advance calculation of the relative pose of the two views, or...
متن کاملWhole body magnetic resonance angiography and computed tomography angiography in the vascular mapping of head and neck: an intraindividual comparison
INTRODUCTION The aim of the study was to compare the detectability of neck vessels with contrast enhanced magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) in the setting of a whole-body MRA and multislice computed tomography angiography (CTA) for preoperative vascular mapping of head and neck. METHODS In 20 patients MRA was performed prior to microvascular reconstruction of the mandible with osteomyocuta...
متن کاملExtracting contrast-filled vessels in X-ray angiography by graduated RPCA with motion coherency constraint
X-ray coronary angiography can provide rich dynamic information of cardiac and vascular function. Extracting contrast-filled vessel from the complex dynamic background (caused by the movement of diaphragm, lung, bones, etc.) in X-ray coronary angiograms has great clinical significance in assisting myocardial perfusion evaluation, reconstructing vessel structures for diagnosis and treatment of h...
