Level Set Based Segmentation of the Distal Femur from 3d Ultrasound Volume Images

چکیده
Computer assisted surgery can improve accuracy and precision in many surgical techniques (Stiehl2005, Jenny2005). Moreover, imaging based computer assisted procedures allow for planning and visual control during all steps (Victor2005). Often, computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are used as imaging modalities. CT offers good image quality but due to its ionizing radiation it is an invasive method. Also, soft tissue is poorly visible in CT data. MRI is affected by distortions (Moro-oka2007) and it is a quite expensive imaging modality.

Model Based Reconstruction of the Bony Knee Anatomy from 3d Ultrasound Images
We developed an image processing chain as well as a related clinical workflow to reconstruct entire bone surfaces from 3D ultrasound volume data (see figure 1). A clinician acquires ultrasound images from relevant areas while scanning from various directions. The probe is tracked, the limb is equipped with non-invasive markers. The user is guided by a simple navigation interface in order to fol...
