A Template Based Technique for Automatic Detection of Fiducial Markers in 3D Brain Images
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we present an accurate technique for automatic detection of fiducial markers in 3d brain images so that fully automatic landmark-based coregistration can be implemented. In our tests, our approach detected successfully 429 out of 430 fiducial markers that can be recognized by human eyes. Thus, in landmarkbased image-registrations, our template-based technique can eliminate the procedure that waits for users to manually pick fiducial landmarks in images.

PURPOSE To investigate the feasibility of fully automated detection of fiducial markers implanted into the prostate using portal images acquired with an electronic portal imaging device. METHODS AND MATERIALS We have made a direct comparison of 4 different methods (2 template matching-based methods, a method incorporating attenuation and constellation analyses and a cross correlation method) ...
متن کاملAutomatic detection of liver tumor motion by fluoroscopy images
Background: A method to track liver tumor motion signals from fluoroscopic images without any implanted gold fiducial markers was proposed in this study to overcome the adverse effects on precise tumor irradiation caused by respiratory movement. Materials and Methods: The method was based on the following idea: (i) Before treatment, a series of fluoroscopic images corresponding to different bre...
متن کاملAutomatic fiducial localization in brain images
Dept of Computer Science and Engineering, Oakland University, USA Institute for Scientific Computing , Wayne State University, USA Abstract. Point-based registration is one of the most popular registration methods in practice. During registration, we use external fiducial markers that are rigidly attached through the skin to the skull. Determining the coordinates of the fiducials without human ...
متن کاملDevelopment and clinical evaluation of automatic fiducial detection for tumor tracking in cine megavoltage images during volumetric modulated arc therapy.
PURPOSE Real-time tracking of implanted fiducials in cine megavoltage (MV) imaging during volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) delivery is complicated due to the inherent low contrast of MV images and potential blockage of dynamic leaves configurations. The purpose of this work is to develop a clinically practical autodetection algorithm for motion management during VMAT. METHODS The expec...
متن کاملComparison of Different Targets Used in Augmented Reality Applications in Ubiquitous GIS
Drilling requires accurate information about locations of underground infrastructures or it can cause serious damages. Augmented Reality (AR) as a technology in Ubiquitous GIS (UBIGIS) can be used to visualize underground infrastructures on smartphones. Since smartphone’s sensors do not provide such accuracy, another approaches should be applied. Vision based computer vision systems are well kn...
