Dynamic CT simulation for minimal invasive surgery

چکیده
Dynamic X-ray Computed Tomography (CT) is an attractive imaging technology for the guidance in minimal invasive surgery. In this field, projection data simulation is an important tool to optimise scanner geometry and to validate reconstruction algorithms. A realistic simulation software, called “Sindbad” has been developed to compute 2D projections. It is based on an analytical model and allows simulating X-ray emission, attenuation through an examined object and photon detection. New functionality has been added to simulate a virtual scanner and to combine 2D projections from CAD phantoms with CT data volumes. Phantoms can be animated with independent motion and temporal evolution laws. CT data can be deformed over time by using a Free Form Deformation (FFD) technique. Encouraging results have been obtained for the simulation of a lung biopsy. To simulate breathing, CT lung data are animated by using a respiratory law. Biopsy needle was inserted along a straight line from an entry point to a target point at a regular speed. The guidance direction also varied with time according to the respiration law. Similar simulations are also used to validate dynamic reconstruction algorithm for radiotherapy planning.

Dynamic organ modeling for minimally-invasive cardiac surgery
While most currently available minimally invasive robotically assisted cardiac surgical systems do not employ 3D image guidance, such support can be generated using pre operative images such as CT. Previously we demonstrated a virtual model of the thorax with simulated surgical instruments, and a pulsating virtual model of the coronary arteries. In this paper we report the overlay of optical en...

The current lateral skull base surgery is largely invasive since it requires wide exposure and direct visualization of anatomical landmarks to avoid damaging critical structures. A multi-port approach aiming to reduce such invasiveness has been recently investigated. Thereby three canals are drilled from the skull surface to the surgical region of interest: the first canal for the instrument, t...

Automatic Patient Registration for Port Placement in Minimally Invasive Endoscopic Surgery
Optimal port placement is a delicate issue in minimally invasive endoscopic surgery, particularly in robotically assisted surgery. A good choice of the instruments’ and endoscope’s ports can avoid timeconsuming consecutive new port placement. We present a novel method to intuitively and precisely plan the port placement. The patient is registered to its pre-operative CT by just moving the endos...

Background The use of a medical simulator should enhance the goals of minimally invasive surgery: patient safety, cosmesis, shortening the length of hospital admissions, and reducing cost. Using an innovative approach to the handling of ultrasound images in virtual reality simulation, this article describes a process that employs a hybrid model of deformable models that can be applied in the te...
