Multimodal Medical Volume Registration Based on Spherical Markers
نویسندگان
چکیده
We propose volume registration procedures based on spherical artificial markers presented in medical multimodal data sets (MRI and CT, especially). The procedures proposed are either semi-automatic or fully-automatic. A semi-automatic approach requires to label approximate locations of the spherical markers in the data sets and then registration operates autonomically. A fully-automatic approach does not require any user interaction, i.e. all registration subtasks – namely segmentation of spheres, finding the correspondence between two sets of spheres and, finally, computing geometrical transformation that maps the first set of spheres onto the second one – are performed automatically by the computer.

Determination of the Orientation of 3D Objects Using Spherical Harmonics
The paper describes a method for estimation of the orientation of 3D objects without point correspondence information. It is based on decomposition of the object onto a basis of spherical harmonics. Tensors are obtained, and their normalization provides the orientation of the object. Theoretical and experimental results show that the approach is more accurate than the classical method based on ...

متن کاملMultimodal surface matching with higher-order smoothness constraints
In brain imaging, accurate alignment of cortical surfaces is fundamental to the statistical sensitivity and spatial localisation of group studies, and cortical surface-based alignment has generally been accepted to be superior to volume-based approaches at aligning cortical areas. However, human subjects have considerable variation in cortical folding, and in the location of functional areas re...
متن کاملLocalizing spherical fiducials in C-arm based cone-beam CT.
PURPOSE C-arm based cone-beam CT (CBCT) imaging enables the in situ acquisition of three dimensional images. In the context of image-guided interventions, this technology potentially reduces the complexity of a procedure's workflow. Instead of acquiring the preoperative volumetric images in a separate location and transferring the patient to the interventional suite, both imaging and interventi...
متن کاملRegularized Quadrature Filters for Local Frequency Estimation: Application to Multimodal Volume Image Registration
Multimodal image registration is a fundamental problem in medical image analysis. In this paper, we propose a novel algorithm to compute the local frequency representations of the multimodal data sets to be registered. Local frequency representation can detect edge and ridge information simultaneously. In this algorithm, we develop regularized quadrature filters (RQFs) to compute local frequenc...
