چکیده

We study the problem of Non-Rigid Registration (NRR) for intra-operative recovery of brain shift during image-guided neurosurgery. Time-critical nature of the tumour resection procedure presents a major obstacle to the routine clinical use of many available NRR approaches. In this paper, we utilise the resources of a single multicore workstation with an advanced graphics card to parallelise and evaluate an end-to-end implementation of a clinically validated NRR method. The results on clinical brain MRI data show the parallel NRR can reach real-time clinical requirement.

Compensation of brain shift during surgery using non-rigid registration of MR and ultrasound images

Background: Surgery and accurate removal of the brain tumor in the operating room and after opening the scalp is one of the major challenges for neurosurgeons due to the removal of skull pressure and displacement and deformation of the brain tissue. This displacement of the brain changes the location of the tumor relative to the MR image taken preoperatively. Methods: This study, which is done...

Non-rigid alignment of pre-operative MRI, fMRI, and DT-MRI with intra-operative MRI for enhanced visualization and navigation in image-guided neurosurgery.

OBJECTIVE The usefulness of neurosurgical navigation with current visualizations is seriously compromised by brain shift, which inevitably occurs during the course of the operation, significantly degrading the precise alignment between the pre-operative MR data and the intra-operative shape of the brain. Our objectives were (i) to evaluate the feasibility of non-rigid registration that compensa...

بهبود سرعت "انطباق مبتنی بر روش برش گراف" جهت انطباق غیر صلب تصاویر تشدید مغناطیسی مغز

Image processing methods, which can visualize objects inside the human body, are of special interests. In clinical diagnosis using medical images, integration of useful data from separate images is often desired. The images have to be geometrically aligned for better observation. The procedure of mapping points from the reference image to corresponding points in the floating image is called Ima...

A unified non-rigid feature registration method for brain mapping

This paper describes the design, implementation and results of a unified non-rigid feature registration method for the purposes of anatomical MRI brain registration. An important characteristic of the method is its ability to fuse different types of anatomical features into a single point-set representation. We demonstrate the application of the method using two different types of features: the...

Accurate and fast deformable medical image registration for brain tumor resection using image-guided neurosurgery

We present a Parallel Adaptive Physics-Based Non-Rigid Registration framework for aligning preoperative to intra-operative brain Magnetic Resonance Images (MRI) of patients who have undergone a tumor resection. This framework extends our earlier work on the Physics-Based methods by using an adaptive, multi-material, parallel Finite Element (FE) biomechanical model to describe the physical defor...
