Optimized Anisotropic Rotational Invariant Diffusion Scheme on Cone-Beam CT
نویسندگان
چکیده
Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) is an important image modality for dental surgery planning, with high resolution images at a relative low radiation dose. In these scans the mandibular canal is hardly visible, this is a problem for implant surgery planning. We use anisotropic diffusion filtering to remove noise and enhance the mandibular canal in CBCT scans. For the diffusion tensor we use hybrid diffusion with a continuous switch (HDCS), suitable for filtering both tubular as planar image structures. We focus in this paper on the diffusion discretization schemes. The standard scheme shows good isotropic filtering behavior but is not rotational invariant, the diffusion scheme of Weickert is rotational invariant but suffers from checkerboard artifacts. We introduce a new scheme, in which we numerically optimize the image derivatives. This scheme is rotational invariant and shows good isotropic filtering properties on both synthetic as real CBCT data.

Coherence Filtering to Enhance the Mandibular Canal in Cone-beam Ct Data
Segmenting the mandibular canal from cone beam CT data, is difficult due to low edge contrast and high image noise. We introduce 3D coherence filtering as a method to close the interrupted edges and denoise the structure of the mandibular canal. Coherence Filtering is an anisotropic non-linear tensor based diffusion algorithm for edge enhancing image filtering. We test different numerical schem...
متن کاملA Hybrid Stress Plane Element with Strain Field
In this paper, a plane quadrilateral element with rotational degrees of freedom is developed. Present formulation is based on a hybrid functional with independent boundary displacement and internal optimum strain field. All the optimality constraints, including being rotational invariant, omitting the parasitic shear error and satisfying Fliepa’s pure bending test, are considered. Moreover, the...
متن کاملA cone-beam volume CT using a 3D angiography system with a flat panel detector of direct conversion type: usefulness for superselective intra-arterial chemotherapy for head and neck tumors.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The development of flat panel detectors (FPDs) has made cone-beam CT feasible for practical use in a clinical setting. Our purpose was to assess the usefulness of cone-beam CT using the FPD in conjunction with conventional digital subtraction angiography (DSA) for performing superselective intra-arterial chemotherapy for head and neck tumors. MATERIALS AND METHODS Twent...
متن کاملTranslational Computed Tomography: A New Data Acquisition Scheme
Today, most computed tomography (CT) systems acquire projection data from several hundred to thousands of directions by employing multi-row (2-D) or flat-panel detectors (cone-beam for 3-D imaging). It is important to notice the following fact: modern CT systems all rely on a rotational movement. The most widely utilized reconstruction algorithms, as for instance the well-known Feldkamp method,...
متن کاملEffective One Step-iterative Fiducial Marker-based Compensation for Involuntary Motion in Weight-bearing C-arm Cone-beam CT Scanning of Knees
We previously introduced three different fiducial marker-based correction methods (2D projection shifting, 2D projection warping, and 3D image warping) for patients’ involuntary motion in the lower body during weight-bearing Carm CT scanning. The 3D warping method performed better than 2D methods since it could more accurately take into account the lower body motion in 3D. However, as the 3D wa...
