چکیده

Recent US systems allow the real-time acquisition of volume data, either by freehand 3D techniques or novel transducer hardware. However, the acquisition of large volumes is limited by the field of view of the US transducer and anatomical scanning windows into the patient. Mosaicing of several 3D US scans has been proposed to generate large US volumes. Still, US imaging specific characteristics and artifacts make it challenging to create high quality mosaics. For many clinical cases, especially interventions, additional high quality CT data is available. In this paper we present a novel multi-variate, multi-modal 3D US registration and mosaicing approach, which reduces the effects of ultrasound imaging artifacts on mosaic quality, by incorporating information from co-registered CT.

Ultrasound Mosaicing and Motion Modeling - Applications in Medical Image Registration

The correct alignment of images is one of the key technologies in medical imaging. It allows for arranging images in a common reference frame and therefore to propagate complementary information between them. The process that calculates the transformation is referred to as registration. The automatic registration of images is important for several applications, with ultrasound mosaicing and mot...

Ultrasound Specific Similarity Measures for Three-Dimensional Mosaicing

The introduction of 2D array ultrasound transducers enables the instantaneous acquisition of ultrasound volumes in the clinical practice. The next step coming along is the combination of several scans to create compounded volumes that provide an extended field-of-view, so called mosaics. The correct alignment of multiple images, which is a complex task, forms the basis of mosaicing. Especially ...

CT and MRI Brain Images Registration for Clinical Applications

Image registration is a vital problem in medical imaging. Image registration is the process of geometrically aligning two or more images acquired from different viewpoints that is multiview registration, at different times that is multi temporal registration, by different sensors that is multimodal registration. In multi view analysis the images may differ in translation, rotation, scaling or m...

Technical Report 2003-01-CIRL-CS-JHU Real-time Video Mosaicing with Adaptive Parametric Warping

Image registration/video mosaicing can be computed by the intensity difference minimization between two images. The image appearance changes are normally caused by images taken under different viewpoints. Families of spatial transformations are used to compensate for the difference. Different sensors and different illumination conditions can also change image intensities [19, 10]. Mutual inform...
