Single Marker Localization for Automatic Patient Registration in Interventional Radiology
نویسندگان
چکیده
Accurate definition of single marker (SM) locations in computed tomography (CT) images is a part of the patient-toimage registration technique used in our navigation system for interventional radiology. The SMs are currently selected manually by the user. We herein present a two-step image processing algorithm first uses morphological operations on the binarized CT image for volume of interest (VOI) extraction and then applies a Hough transform (HT) to precisely localize SM centers in VOIs. This leads to fully automatic SM localization with precision that exceeds manual localization.

PURPOSE Real-time surgical navigation relies on accurate image-to-world registration to align the coordinate systems of the image and patient. Conventional manual registration can present a workflow bottleneck and is prone to manual error and intraoperator variability. This work reports alternative means of automatic image-to-world registration, each method involving an automatic registration m...

With optical cameras, many interventional navigation tasks previously relying on EM, optical, or mechanical guidance can be performed robustly, quickly, and conveniently. We developed a family of novel guidance systems based on widespectrum cameras and vision algorithms for real-time tracking of interventional instruments and multi-modality markers. These navigation systems support the localiza...
