Evaluation of whole‐body MR to CT deformable image registration
Multimodality image registration plays a crucial role in various clinical and research applications. The aim of this study is to present an optimized MR to CT whole-body deformable image registration algorithm and its validation using clinical studies. A 3D intermodality registration technique based on B-spline transformation was performed using optimized parameters of the elastix package based...
متن کاملWhole Body CT for a Patient with Sepsis
This study retrospectively investigated the significance of whole body CT (WCT) for patients with sepsis. A medical chart review was retrospectively performed for all patients with systemic inflammatory response syndrome that were treated initially between April 2011 and March 2012. The subjects were divided into a WCT group that underwent WCT on arrival and a control group. Results of this stu...
متن کاملPatient-specific biomechanical model of human lung using four-dimensional CT
Introduction: Radiotherapy aims to deliver a lethal beam of radiation onto lung tumor while minimizing exposure to surrounding healthy tissues. In order to achieve this objective, the radiation must be targeted, requiring the spatio-temporal location the tumor. In this work, we describe a method to integrate FEA/CFD ((Finite Element Analysis/Computational Fluid Dynamic)) technique with four dim...
متن کاملA software tool for stitching two PET/CT body segments into a single whole‐body image set
A whole-body PET/CT scan extending from the vertex of the head to the toes of the patient is not feasible on a number of commercially available PET/CT scanners due to a limitation in the extent of bed travel on these systems. In such cases, the PET scan has to be divided into two parts: one covering the upper body segment, while the other covering the lower body segment. The aim of this paper i...
متن کاملImage Registration Methods for Patient-Specific Virtual Physiological Human Models
In this paper, current status of image registration is reviewed with respect to physiological, morphological and anatomical aspects. There are ample choices of recent techniques for image registration which can be used, and a technique suitable for image registration of the pelvis region supporting the femoral nerve block was applied for the development of patient-specific models. Virtual physi...
