Camera Augmented Mobile C-Arm Towards Real Patient Study

چکیده
The Camera Augmented Mobile C-arm (CamC) system that extends a regular mobile C-arm by a video camera provides an X-ray and video image overlay. Thanks to the mirror construction and one time calibration of the device, the acquired X-ray images are co-registered with the video images without any calibration or registration during the intervention. It is very important to quantify and qualify the system before its introduction into the OR. In this communication, we extended the previously performed overlay accuracy analysis of the CamC system by another clinically important parameter, the applied radiation dose for the patient. Since the mirror of the CamC system will absorb and scatter radiation, we introduce a method for estimating the correct applied dose by using an independent dose measurement device. The results show that the mirror absorbs and scatters 39% of X-ray radiation.

The Camera Augmented Mobile C-arm (CamC) system that augments a regular mobile C-arm by a video camera provides an overlay image of X-ray and video. This technology is expected to reduce radiation exposure during surgery without introducing major changes to the standard surgical workflow. Whereas many experiments were conducted to evaluate the technical characteristics of the CamC system, its c...
متن کاملMerging visible and invisible: two Camera-Augmented Mobile C-arm (CAMC) applications
This paper presents the basic concept of Camera-Augmented Mobile C-arm (CAMC) and a set of its possible applications. A C C D camera is attached to a mobile C-arm uoroscopy X-ray system. Both optical and X-ray imaging systems are calibrated in the same coordinate system in an oo-line process. The new system is able to provide X-ray and optical images simultaneously. This system was rst used for...

Several image guided surgery systems were introduced in the research community throughout the past decades. Only a few have found their way into the operating room and even a smaller number of them into everyday clinical routine. Within this paper, we describe a method for workflow based preclinical assessment of image guided surgery systems. This analysis can reveal surgical phase-related stre...
