Automated Multimodal Volume Registration based on Supervised 3D Anatomical Landmark Detection
نویسندگان
چکیده
We propose a new method for automatic 3D multimodal registration based on anatomical landmark detection. Landmark detectors are learned independantly in the two imaging modalities using Extremely Randomized Trees and multi-resolution voxel windows. A least-squares fitting algorithm is then used for rigid registration based on the landmark positions as predicted by these detectors in the two imaging modalities. Experiments are carried out with this method on a dataset of pelvis CT and CBCT scans related to 45 patients. On this dataset, our fully automatic approach yields results very competitive with respect to a manually assisted stateof-the-art rigid registration algorithm.

Label-driven weakly-supervised learning for multimodal deformable image registration
Spatially aligning medical images from different modalities remains a challenging task, especially for intraoperative applications that require fast and robust algorithms. We propose a weakly-supervised, label-driven formulation for learning 3D voxel correspondence from higher-level label correspondence, thereby bypassing classical intensity-based image similarity measures. During training, a c...
متن کاملLung registration using automatically detected landmarks.
OBJECTIVES Accurate registration of lung CT images is inevitable for numerous clinical applications. Usually, nonlinear intensity-based methods are used. Their accuracy is typically evaluated using corresponding anatomical points (landmarks; e.g. bifurcations of bronchial and vessel trees) annotated by medical experts in the images to register. As image registration can be interpreted as corres...
متن کاملDevelopment and validation of a multi-step approach to improved detection of 3D point landmarks in tomographic images
We introduce a novel multi-step approach to improved detection of 3D anatomical point landmarks in tomographic images. Such landmarks serve as important image features for a variety of 3D medical image analysis tasks (e.g. image registration). Existing approaches to landmark detection, however, often suffer from a rather large number of false detections. Our multi-step approach combines an exis...
متن کاملIncorporation of Landmark Error Ellipsoids for Image Registration Basedon
We present an approach for elastic registration of 3D tomographic images which is based on a set of corresponding anatomical point landmarks and takes into account anisotropic landmark localization errors in form of 3D error ellipsoids. The 3D error ellipsoids are directly estimated from the image data. The performance of our approach is demonstrated for 2D and 3D MR images of the human brain.
متن کاملStable registration of pathological 3D-OCT scans using retinal vessels
We propose a multiple scanner vendor registration method for pathological retinal 3D spectral domain optical coherence tomography volumes based on Myronenko’s Coherent Point Drift and our automated vessel shadow segmentation. Coherent point drift is applied to the segmented retinal vessel point sets used as landmarks to generate the registration parameters required. In contrast to other registr...
