چکیده
This thesis presents a comparison of high-speed rendering algorithms for the application in 2D/3D-image registration in radiation oncology. Image guided radiation therapy (IGRT) is a technique for improving the treatment of cancer with ionizing radiation by adapting the treatment plan to the current situation using 2D/3D-image registration. To accelerate this procedure, also rendering of Digitally Rendered Radiographs (DRR), as a part of it, has to be performed faster. In the context of this thesis, a GPU based wobbled splat rendering algorithm based on the work of Spoerk et al. (2007) is further improved and compared to a newly developed GPU based ray casting implementation. For comparison, rendering quality and performance as well as the influence on the quality and performance of the overall registration process are measured and analyzed in detail. These results show that both methods are competitive although ray casting has in its current implementation several advantages over wobbled splat rendering.

In computer vision and image analysis, image registration between 2D projections and a 3D image that achieves high accuracy and near real-time computation is challenging. In this paper, we propose a novel method that can rapidly detect an object's 3D rigid motion or deformation from a 2D projection image or a small set thereof. The method is called CLARET (Correction via Limited-Angle Residues ...

Mutual information (MI) is a widely used similarity metric for multimodality image registration. However, it involves an extremely high computational time especially when it is applied to volume images. Moreover, its robustness is affected by existence of local maxima. The multi-resolution pyramid approaches have been proposed to speed up the registration process and increase the accuracy of th...

متن کاملGPU Accelerated Image Registration in Two and Three Dimensions
Medical image registration tasks of large volume datasets, especially in the non-rigid case, often put a heavy burden on computing resources. GPUs are a promising new approach to address computational intensive image processing tasks. We investigate recently introduced GPU hardware features that accelerate 2D and 3D rigid and nonrigid registration tasks. Our implementation is entirely GPU based.
