MR Image Overlay Guidance System (MR-IOS): System Evaluation for Clinical Use
نویسندگان
چکیده
Purpose A clinical augmented reality guidance system was developed for MR imaging guided musculoskeletal and spine interventions (Magnetic Resonance Image Overlay System, MR-IOS) [1]. The MR-IOS was used in conjunction with a laboratory system “Perk Station Platform, PSP”; a training platform for percutaneous needle based interventions [2]. The purpose of this study was to assess the MR environment compatibility, technical accuracy, technical efficacy and operator performance of the MR-IOS.

Evaluation of MR Image Overlay for Spinal Interventions
Introduction: MR guidance is being used for a host of spine injections and pain management procedures such as discography, periradicular nerve blocks, sympathetic blocks, celiac plexus blocks, sacroiliac joint injections, and facet (zygoapophysial) joint neurotomies. MR imaging provides exceptional depiction of the patho-anatomy in the vertebral column and intervertebral discs and also provides...
متن کاملAn Automated MR Image Segmentation System Using Multi-layer Perceptron Neural Network
Background: Brain tissue segmentation for delineation of 3D anatomical structures from magnetic resonance (MR) images can be used for neuro-degenerative disorders, characterizing morphological differences between subjects based on volumetric analysis of gray matter (GM), white matter (WM) and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), but only if the obtained segmentation results are correct. Due to image arti...
متن کاملValidation System of MR Image Overlay and Other Needle Insertion Techniques
In order to develop accurate and effective augmented reality (AR) systems used in MR and CT guided needle placement procedures, a comparative validation environment is necessary. Clinical equipment is prohibitively expensive and often inadequate for precise measurement. Therefore, we have developed a laboratory validation system for measuring operator performance using different assistance tech...

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this article is to provide a preliminary user assessment of Image-Overlay, an augmented reality system for MRI-guided needle placement, in a spine phantom. CONCLUSION Image-Overlay can be used to successfully target lumbar facet joints with high accuracy and minimal insertions. This is potentially useful for other interventional MRI applications. Additional clinical a...
متن کاملFeasibility of Extracted-Overlay Fusion Imaging for Intraoperative Treatment Evaluation of Radiofrequency Ablation for Hepatocellular Carcinoma.
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Extracted-overlay fusion imaging is a novel computed tomography/magnetic resonance-ultrasonography (CT/MR-US) imaging technique in which a target tumor with a virtual ablative margin is extracted from CT/MR volume data and synchronously overlaid on US images. We investigated the applicability of the technique to intraoperative evaluation of radiofrequency ablation (RFA) for ...
