Registration between 3-D volumes and 2-D fluoro images for Electrophysiology (EP) is a challenging task due to the lack of corresponding features between 2-D and 3-D data. This paper presents an automatic, accurate and workflow-friendly 2-D/3-D registration method specially designed for patient movement correction during EP procedures. Firstly, 2-D spines are enhanced by exploiting the temporal information...
Computed tomography (CT) is used for the attenuation correction of positron emission tomography (PET) to enhance the efficiency of data acquisition process and to improve the quality of the reconstructed PET data in the brain. Due to the use of two different modalities, chances of misalignment between PET and CT images are quite significant. The main cause of this misregistration is the motion of...
Being performed under extensive radiation exposure, endovascular stent graft placements would greatly benefit from a reliable navigation solution. A successful implementation of such a system requires an accurate 2D-3D registration. Since the stent graft is only visible in the radiograph, registration algorithms can easily be attracted to wrong structures. In this paper, we address this problem by...
Cone-beam CT (CBCT) scanners are based on volumetric tomography, using a 2D extended digital array providing an area detector [1]. Compared to traditional CT, CBCT has many advantages, such as less X-ray beam limitation, high image accuracy, rapid scan time, etc. However, in CBCT images there are always some ring artifacts that appear as rings centered on the rotation axis. Due to the data of the...
Visualization of the patient-specific fractured bone in three dimensions (3D) plays an important role in image guided orthopedic surgery. Existing research often focuses on intra-operative registration of the patientspsila anatomy with pre-operatively obtained 3D volumetric data (e.g. CT scans) utilizing fiduciary markers. This expensive and invasive approach is not routinely available for diagnostics,...
Three dimensional (3D) visualization of anatomy plays an important role in image guided orthopedic surgery and ultimately motivates minimally invasive procedures. However, direct 3D imaging modalities such as computed tomography (CT) are restricted to a minority of complex orthopedic procedures. Thus the diagnostics and planning of many interventions still rely on two dimensional (2D) radiographic...
