Assessing Accuracy Factors in Deformable 2D/3D Medical Image Registration Using a Statistical Pelvis Model

چکیده
Deformable 2D-3D medical image registration is an essential technique in Computer Integrated Surgery (CIS) to fuse 3D pre-operative data with 2D intra-operative data. Several factors may affect the accuracy of 2D-3D registration, including the number of 2D views, the angle between views, the view angle relative to anatomical objects, the co-registration error between views, the image noise, and the image distortion. In this paper, we investigate and assess the relationship between these factors and the accuracy of 2D-3D registration. We proposed a deformable 2D-3D registration method based on a statistical model. We conducted experiments using a hemi-pelvis model and simulated x-ray images. Some discussions are provided on how to improve the accuracy of 2D-3D registration based on our assessment. Keyword: deformable 2D-3D medical image registration, accuracy assessment, statistical model

Deformable 2D-3D Registration of the Pelvis with a Limited Field of View, Using Shape Statistics
Our paper summarizes experiments for measuring the accuracy of deformable 2D-3D registration between sets of simulated x-ray images (DRR's) and a statistical shape model of the pelvis bones, which includes x-ray attenuation information ("density"). In many surgical scenarios, the images contain a truncated view of the pelvis anatomy. Our work specifically addresses this problem by examining dif...

We present an iterative bootstrapping framework to create and analyze statistical atlases of bony anatomy such as the human pelvis from a large collection of CT data sets. We create an initial tetrahedral mesh representation of the target anatomy and use deformable intensity-based registration to create an initial atlas. This atlas is used as prior information to assist in deformable registrati...

This paper proposes a 3D statistical model aiming at effectively capturing statistics of high-dimensional deformation fields and then uses this prior knowledge to constrain 3D image warping. The conventional statistical shape model methods, such as the active shape model (ASM), have been very successful in modeling shape variability. However, their accuracy and effectiveness typically drop dram...
