We train a multi-class classifier on different classes of displacement between 3D patches of images and use it for registration. As the initial displacement between images might be large, we train multiple classifiers for different resolutions of the data to capture larger displacements in coarser resolutions. We show that having only a few patients, the deep multi-class classifiers enable an accurate and fast rigid registration for CBCT to planCT even with significantly different fields of view. Our work lays the foundation for deformable image registration and prediction of registration uncertainty which can be utilized for adaptive RT.","PeriodicalId":302939,"journal":{"name":"Medical Imaging: Image-Guided Procedures","volume":"94 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-03-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116240793","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Frame-byframe (15 fps) 4D reconstructions of the device are overlayed on 3D vascular anatomy derived from 3D-DSA. We describe a 4D-assisted guidance platform that provides virtual endoscopic renderings of blood vessels and report on its use for navigating guidewires in a patient-specific vascular phantom. The 4D-assisted platform provides two 4D display modes plus conventional 2D fluoroscopy. Virtual endoscopic 4D mode shows a real-time view of the guidewire tip and the downstream vessel with a viewpoint inside the vessel. Path-planning highlights the target vessel branches. External 4D display mode provides an external rotatable viewpoint of the device and vasculature. In a phantom study, operators navigated a guidewire through branches of a 3D-printed phantom. Performance was compared to navigation with 2D fluoroscopy alone. Operators rated the degree to which they used the 2D and 4D display modes on a Likert scale (1-never, 5-almost always). Quantitative imaging metrics were obtained from processed video recordings. Three users completed 15 of 15 challenges with 4D-assisted display, whereas the 2D-only guidance completion rate was 13/15. With both 2D and 4D displays available, users reported using the 2D display never-to-sometimes (median score = 2) and 4D display often or almost always (median = 5). The virtual endoscopic viewpoint was utilized more frequently than the external viewpoint. 4D fluoroscopy with virtual endoscopic display provides a new and potentially useful mode for visualization of guidewire and catheter manipulations in complex vascular anatomy.","PeriodicalId":302939,"journal":{"name":"Medical Imaging: Image-Guided Procedures","volume":"649 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-03-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115831377","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Percutaneous nephrolithotomy is the most common surgical treatment for the removal of renal stones. We propose a workflow to generate 3D soft tissue and bone models from computed tomography (CT) images, to be used and validated in a VR nephrolithotomy simulator. METHODS: Venous, delay, non-contrast, and full body CT scans were registered and segmented to generate 3D models of the abdominal organs, skin, and bone. These models were decimated and re-meshed into low-polygon versions while maintaining anatomical accuracy. The models were integrated into a nephrolithotomy simulator with haptic feedback and scoring metrics. Urology surgical experts assessed the simulator and its validity through a questionnaire based on a 5-point Likert scale. RESULTS: The workflow produced soft tissue and bone models from patient CT scans, which were integrated into the simulator. Surgeon responses indicated level 3 and above for face validity and level 4 and above for all other aspects of medical simulation validity: content, construct, and criterion. CONCLUSION: We designed an effective workflow to generate 3D models from CT scans using open source and modelling software. The low resolution of these models allowed integration in a VR simulator for visualization and haptic feedback, while anatomical accuracy was maintained.","PeriodicalId":302939,"journal":{"name":"Medical Imaging: Image-Guided Procedures","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-03-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121531000","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Small sensors are incorporated within catheters and guidewires in order to track and guide in real-time their position and orientation with a reduced intra- procedural radiation exposure and contrast agent injections. One of the major limits of these systems is related to the unsuitable sensorization strategy for the J-tip guidewires, due to the structural constraints of the sensor coils available on the market. In this work we present preliminary results on a sensors bending test in static conditions to assess whether and when the precision of the sensor remains unchanged and/or deteriorates. In the worst case, the highest standard deviation is less than 0:10 mm.","PeriodicalId":302939,"journal":{"name":"Medical Imaging: Image-Guided Procedures","volume":"53 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-03-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131642027","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Often, sparse data of the anterior liver surface can be collected for these registrations. However, achieving accurate registration to sparse surface data when soft tissue deformation is present remains a challenging open problem. While many approaches have been developed, a common standard for comparing algorithm performance has yet to be adopted. The image-to-physical liver registration sparse data challenge offers a publicly available dataset of realistic sparse data patterns collected on a deforming liver phantom for the purpose of evaluating and comparing potential registration approaches. Additionally, the challenge is designed to allow testing and characterization of these methods as a general utility for the registration community. Using this challenge environment, an inverse biomechanical method for deformable registration to sparse data was investigated with respect to how whole-organ target registration error (TRE) is impacted by a model parameter that controls the spatial reconstructive resolution of mechanical loads applied to the organ. For this analysis, this resolution parameter was varied across a wide range of values and TRE was calculated from the challenge dataset. An optimal parameter value for model resolution was found and average TRE across the 112 sparse data challenge cases was reduced to 3.08 ± 0.85 mm, an approximate 32% improvement over previously reported results. The value of the data offered by the sparse data challenge is evident. This work was performed entirely using information automatically generated by the challenge submission and processing site.","PeriodicalId":302939,"journal":{"name":"Medical Imaging: Image-Guided Procedures","volume":" 9","pages":"113151F"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-03-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141222603","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
