A Fast Image Registration Technique for Motion Artifact Reduction in DSA
نویسندگان
چکیده
In digital subtraction angiography (DSA), patient motion is the primary cause of image quality degradation. The motion correction algorithms developed so far were not sufficiently fast so as to be suitable for integration in a clinical setting. In this paper we describe a new image registration technique for motion artifact reduction in DSA which is fully automatic, effective, and computationally very efficient. Using an image content driven control point selection mechanism and modern graphics hardware for image warping, the algorithm requires less than one second per DSA image (on average). Preliminary experiments on cerebral DSA images illustrate the applicability of the technique.

Artifact reduction techniques in Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) imaging modality
Introduction: Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) was introduced and became more common based on its low cost, fast image procedure rate and low radiation dose compared to CT. This imaging modality improved diagnostic and treatment-planning procedures by providing three-dimensional information with greatly reduced level of radiation dose compared to 2D dental imaging modalitie...
متن کاملNonrigid Image Registration in Digital Subtraction Angiography Using Multilevel B-Spline
We address the problem of motion artifact reduction in digital subtraction angiography (DSA) using image registration techniques. Most of registration algorithms proposed for application in DSA, have been designed for peripheral and cerebral angiography images in which we mainly deal with global rigid motions. These algorithms did not yield good results when applied to coronary angiography imag...
