Novel Algorithms for Robust Registration of Fiducials in CT and MRI
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we present several numerical algorithms for registering fiducials in planar CT or MRI images to their corresponding three-dimensional locations. The unique strength of these methods is their ability to robustly handle incomplete fiducials patterns, even in extreme cases when as much as one third of the fiducial data is missing from the images. We compare the effectiveness of these algorithms in terms of flops and robustness on actual CT data sets.

Numerical algorithms for spatial registration of line fiducials from cross-sectional images.
We present several numerical algorithms for six-degree-of-freedom rigid-body registration of line fiducial objects to their marks in cross-sectional planar images, such as those obtained in CT and MRI, given the correspondence between the marks and line fiducials. The area of immediate application is frame-based stereotactic procedures, such as radiosurgery and functional neurosurgery. The algo...
متن کاملA Novel Fuzzy-C Means Image Segmentation Model for MRI Brain Tumor Diagnosis
Accurate segmentation of brain tumor plays a key role in the diagnosis of brain tumor. Preset and precise diagnosis of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) brain tumor is enormously significant for medical analysis. During the last years many methods have been proposed. In this research, a novel fuzzy approach has been proposed to classify a given MRI brain image as normal or cancer label and the i...
متن کاملNew Pseudo-CT Generation Approach from Magnetic Resonance Imaging using a Local Texture Descriptor
Background: One of the challenges of PET/MRI combined systems is to derive an attenuation map to correct the PET image. For that, the pseudo-CT image could be used to correct the attenuation. Until now, most existing scientific researches construct this pseudo-CT image using the registration techniques. However, these techniques suffer from the local minima of the non-rigid deformation energy f...
متن کاملPseudo-CT Generation from Magnetic Resonance Imaging by fuzzy look up table algorithm
Introduction: Despite growing interest in the use of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the external radiotherapy design process (RT), Computer Tomography (CT) remains a gold standard and is regarded as a basic imaging modality in radiotherapy. MRI shows the high contrast in soft tissues without any radiation exposure to patients. As a result, MRI is used in functional tissue ...
متن کاملDPML-Risk: An Efficient Algorithm for Image Registration
Targets and objects registration and tracking in a sequence of images play an important role in various areas. One of the methods in image registration is feature-based algorithm which is accomplished in two steps. The first step includes finding features of sensed and reference images. In this step, a scale space is used to reduce the sensitivity of detected features to the scale changes. Afterw...
