A Porcine Liver Model for Validation of Registration Accuracy in Image-Guided Surgery
نویسندگان
چکیده
Correct registration between pre-operative high-resolution images and intra-operative data of lower detail is a fundamental requirement in image-guided liver surgery. We propose a multi modality liver model for measuring the accuracy of such registration methods. A freshly explanted porcine liver is artificially perfused by a peristaltic pump and liver motion is simulated by means of inflatable objects positioned around the liver. Co-registered ultrasound and CT data sets are acquired in different deformation scenarios and allow compar-ing registration outcomes with a CT data set serving as ground truth. The pre-sent work describes the experimental setup and summarizes the results from ultrasound and CT imaging.

We present an analysis of the registration component of a proposed image guidance system for image guided liver surgery, using contrast enhanced CT. The analysis is performed on a visually realistic liver phantom and in-vivo porcine data. A robust registration process that can be deployed clinically is a key component of any image guided surgery system. It is also essential that the accuracy of...

Soft-tissue deformation represents a significant error source in current surgical navigation systems used for open hepatic procedures. While numerous algorithms have been proposed to rectify the tissue deformation that is encountered during open liver surgery, clinical validation of the proposed methods has been limited to surface-based metrics, and subsurface validation has largely been perfor...

The current protocol for image guidance in open abdominal liver tumor removal surgeries involves a rigid registration between the patient's operating room space and the pre-operative diagnostic image-space. Systematic studies have shown that the liver can deform up to 2 cm during surgeries in a non-rigid fashion thereby compromising the accuracy of these surgical navigation systems. Compensatin...

متن کاملAccuracy Validation in Image - Guided Orthopaedic Surgery
Validating the accuracy of image-guided surgical systems is a challenging and important problem which has received little attention in the literature. Potential sources of inaccuracy include: CT imaging noise, model generation errors, errors introduced by fixturing, intra-operative data noise, registration errors, and inaccuracies in surgical tools and actions. In this paper, we discuss our exp...
