Vessel to Image Registration using Rigid and Elastic Transformations
نویسندگان
چکیده
Several recent studies demonstrate a real potential in taking tubular structures as a base for image registration. In this paper, we present a novel technique to conduct deformations on tubular structures. Our approach aligns a pre-extracted tubular model, e.g. vessels inside an organ or a set of bones, with an image by combining both rigid and elastic transformations. The physical structure and properties of the tubes are taken into account to drive the registration process. This model to image registration shows sub-voxel accuracy as well as robustness to noise and a convergence time of less than one minute.

Compensation of brain shift during surgery using non-rigid registration of MR and ultrasound images
Background: Surgery and accurate removal of the brain tumor in the operating room and after opening the scalp is one of the major challenges for neurosurgeons due to the removal of skull pressure and displacement and deformation of the brain tissue. This displacement of the brain changes the location of the tumor relative to the MR image taken preoperatively. Methods: This study, which is done...
متن کاملRegistration and retrieval of highly elastic bodies using contextual information q
In medical imaging, comparing and retrieving objects is non-trivial because of the high variability in shape and appearance. Such variety leads to poor performance of retrieval algorithms only based on local or global descriptors (shape, color, texture). In this article, we propose a context-based framework for medical image retrieval on the grounds of a global object context based on the mutua...

Image processing methods, which can visualize objects inside the human body, are of special interests. In clinical diagnosis using medical images, integration of useful data from separate images is often desired. The images have to be geometrically aligned for better observation. The procedure of mapping points from the reference image to corresponding points in the floating image is called Ima...
متن کاملRigid and elastic registration for coronary artery IVUS images.
BACKGROUND Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) has been widely used in diagnosis and interventional treatment of cardiac vessel diseases. The coronary artery IVUS images are usually polluted by motion artifacts caused by cardiac motion, pulsatile blood and catheter twist during continuous pullback acquisition. OBJECTIVE Strategies for rigid and elastic registration of coronary artery IVUS studies...
متن کاملOn Validation of Non-physical Techniques for Elastic Image Registration
Non-physical techniques for elastic image registration such as different spline-based optimization methods are often applied in biomedical applications for image normalization w.r.t. non-rigid transformations. Since mechanical properties of biological structures to be registered are usually unknown, a ”ground truth” validation of the results of image registration is not possible. This article p...
