The Second International Workshop on Pulmonary Image Analysis

چکیده
In this paper we propose an approach to generate a 4D statistical model of respiratory lung motion based on thoracic 4D CT data of different patients. A symmetric diffeomorphic intensity–based registration technique is used to estimate subject–specific motion models and to establish inter–subject correspondence. The statistics on the diffeomorphic transformations are computed using the Log–Euclidean framework. We present methods to adapt the genererated statistical 4D motion model to an unseen patient–specific lung geometry and to predict individual organ motion. The prediction is evaluated with respect to landmark and tumor motion. Mean absolute differences between model–based predicted landmark motion and corresponding breathing–induced landmark displacements as observed in the CT data sets are 3.3± 1.8 mm considering motion between end expiration to end inspiration, if lung dynamics are not impaired by lung disorders. The statistical respiratory motion model presented is capable of providing valuable prior knowledge in many fields of applications. We present two examples of possible applications in the fields of radiation therapy and image guided diagnosis.

متن کاملComparison of Image Quality of Low Voltage 64-slice Multidetector CT Angiography with the Standard Condition in Patients Suspected of Pulmonary Embolism
Introduction: Reduction of peak kilovoltage (kV) setting has been a useful approach to d creating radiation dose; however, it may have varied effects on noise and the accuracy of diagnosis. Thus, we compared image quality between low (80 kV) and standard kilovoltage (100 kV) protocols. Material and Methods: This triple blind non-randomized parallel quasi-experimental study was conducted on 140 ...
