چکیده
This paper presents a method based on articulated models for the registration of spine data extracted from multimodal medical images of patients with scoliosis. With the ultimate aim being the development of a complete geometrical model of the torso of a scoliotic patient, this work presents a method for the registration of vertebral column data using 3D magnetic resonance images (MRI) acquired in prone position and X-ray data acquired in standing position for five patients with scoliosis. The 3D shape of the vertebrae is estimated from both image modalities for each patient, and an articulated model is used in order to calculate intervertebral transformations required in order to align the vertebrae between both postures. Euclidean distances between anatomical landmarks are calculated in order to assess multimodal registration error. Results show a decrease in the Euclidean distance using the proposed method compared to rigid registration and more physically realistic vertebrae deformations compared to thin-plate-spline (TPS) registration thus improving alignment.

Multimodal image registration of the scoliotic torso for surgical planning
BACKGROUND This paper presents a method that registers MRIs acquired in prone position, with surface topography (TP) and X-ray reconstructions acquired in standing position, in order to obtain a 3D representation of a human torso incorporating the external surface, bone structures, and soft tissues. METHODS TP and X-ray data are registered using landmarks. Bone structures are used to register...

This paper presents a method towards inferring personalized 3D spine models to intraoperative CT data acquired for corrective spinal surgery. An accurate 3D reconstruction from standard X-rays is obtained before surgery to provide the geometry of vertebrae. The outcome of this procedure is used as basis to derive an articulated spine model that is represented by consecutive sets of intervertebr...

متن کاملA Log-Euclidean Polyaffine Registration for Articulated Structures in Medical Images
In this paper we generalize the Log-Euclidean polyaffine registration framework of Arsigny et al. to deal with articulated structures. This framework has very useful properties as it guarantees the invertibility of smooth geometric transformations. In articulated registration a skeleton model is defined for rigid structures such as bones. The final transformation is affine for the bones and ela...
متن کاملA technique for improving 2D X-ray to 3D MRI registration in fluoroscopy-guided orthopedic interventions
Introduction Orthopedic interventions are often performed using x-ray fluoroscopic guidance. Although boney structures can be seen on fluoroscopic images, soft tissue contrast in such images is poor. In addition, fluoroscopy can only provide 2-dimensional projection images, which has no spatial resolution along the projection axis. For these reasons it would be beneficial to use preoperative 3D...
