Spatial Correspondence between Prone and Supine CT Colonography Images: Creating a Reference Standard
نویسندگان
چکیده
Matching corresponding locations between prone and supine CT colonography (CTC) images is difficult due to colonic deformations that occur between patient repositioning. We propose a novel method to allow a set of interpreting readers to establish a reference standard by matching corresponding locations in the prone and supine acquisitions. Independent matching of haustral folds was carried out for 17 CTC datasets by three readers, with the final reference standard being achieved in consensus. This resulted in 1743 reference standard points which have been made publicly available, along with the original CTC data at http://cmic.cs.ucl.ac.uk/CTC.

Deformable Registration of Supine and Prone Colons for CT Colonography
CT colonography (CTC) is a minimally invasive screening technique for colorectal polyps and colon cancer. Most CTC protocols acquire both prone and supine images to improve the visualization of the lumen wall, reduce false positives, and improve sensitivity. Comparisons between the prone and supine images can be facilitated by computerized registration between the scans. In this paper, an algor...
متن کاملEstablishing Spatial Correspondence between the Inner Colon Surfaces from Prone and Supine CT Colonography
Colonography is an important screening tool for colorectal lesions. This paper presents a method for establishing spatial correspondence between prone and supine inner colon surfaces reconstructed from CT colonography. The method is able to account for the large deformations and torsions of the colon occurring through movement between the two positions. Therefore, we parameterised the two surfa...
متن کاملWE-E-213CD-03: Inverse-Consistent Symmetric Registration of Inner Colon Surfaces Derived from Prone and Supine CT Colonography.
PURPOSE Robust registration of prone and supine colonie surfaces acquired during CT colonography may lead to faster and more accurate detection of colorectal cancer and polyps. Any directional bias when registering one surface to the other could precipitate incorrect anatomical correspondence and engender reader error. Despite this, non-rigid registration methods are often implemented asymmetri...
متن کاملIntra-Patient Supine-Prone Colon Registration in CT Colonography Using Shape Spectrum
CT colonography (CTC) is a minimally invasive screening technique for colorectal polyps and colon cancer. Since electronic colon cleansing (ECC) cannot completely remove the presence of pseudo-polyps, most CTC protocols acquire both prone and supine images to improve the visualization of the lumen wall and to reduce false positives. Comparisons between the prone and supine images can be facilit...
متن کاملBenefits of Centerline Analysis for CT Colonography Computer-Aided Polyp Detection
The purpose of this paper is to assess colonic distension and length and to evaluate a polyp matching algorithm on prone and supine studies in CT colonography (CTC) computer aided diagnosis (CAD). Our CTC CAD software was used to reconstruct the colonic surface, to compute the colon centerline and to detect spatial positions of polyps. Normalized distance along the centerline (NDAC) and colon d...
