Interactive Deformable Registration Visualization and Analysis of 4D Computed Tomography
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a new interactive method for analyzing 4D Computed Tomography (4DCT) datasets for patient care and research. Deformable registration algorithms are commonly used to observe the trajectories of individual voxels from one respiratory phase to another. Our system provides users with the capability to visualize these trajectories while simultaneously rendering anatomical volumes, which can greatly improve the accuracy of deformable registration.

A Study on Robustness of Various Deformable Image Registration Algorithms on Image Reconstruction Using 4DCT Thoracic Images
Background: Medical image interpolation is recently introduced as a helpful tool to obtain further information via initial available images taken by tomography systems. To do this, deformable image registration algorithms are mainly utilized to perform image interpolation using tomography images.Materials and Methods: In this work, 4DCT thoracic images of five real patients provided by DI...
متن کامل3D and 4D Medical Image Registration Combined with Image Segmentation and Visualization
IntroductIon Image registration, segmentation, and visualization are three major components of medical image processing. Three-dimensional (3D) digital medical images are three dimensionally reconstructed, often with minor artifacts, and with limited spatial resolution and gray scale, unlike common digital pictures. Because of these limitations, image filtering is often performed before the ima...

متن کاملReal-Time Simulation of 4D Lung Tumor Radiotherapy Using a Breathing Model
In this paper, we present a real-time simulation and visualization framework that models a deformable surface lung model with tumor, simulates the tumor motion and predicts the amount of radiation doses that would be deposited in the moving lung tumor during the actual delivery of radiation. The model takes as input a subject-specific 4D Computed Tomography (4D CT) of lungs and computes a defor...
متن کامل4D-CT lung motion estimation with deformable registration: quantification of motion nonlinearity and hysteresis.
In this article, our goal is twofold. First, we propose and compare two methods which process deformable registration to estimate patient specific lung and tumor displacements and deformation during free breathing from four-dimensional computed tomography (4D-CT) data. Second, we propose techniques to quantify the physiological parameters of motion nonlinearity and hysteresis. A Fréchet distanc...
