摘要: An embodiment in accordance with the present invention provides a method for 3D-2D registration (for example, registration of a 3D CT image to a 2D radiograph) that permits deformable motion between structures defined in the 3D image based on a series of locally rigid transformations. This invention utilizes predefined annotations in 3D images (e.g., the location of anatomical features of interest) to perform multiple locally rigid registrations that yield improved accuracy in aligning structures that have undergone deformation between the acquisition of the 3D and 2D images (e.g., a preoperative CT compared to an intraoperative radiograph). The 3D image is divided into subregions that are masked according to the annotations, and the registration is computed simultaneously for each divided region by incorporating a volumetric masking method within the 3D-2D registration process.

摘要: The present invention is directed to a method for enabling volumetric image reconstruction from unknown projection geometry of tomographic imaging systems, including CT, cone-beam CT (CBCT), and tomosynthesis systems. The invention enables image reconstruction in cases where it was not previously possible (e.g., custom-designed trajectories on robotic C-arms, or systems using uncalibrated geometries), and more broadly offers improved image quality (e.g., improved spatial resolution and reduced streak artifact) and robustness to patient motion (e.g., inherent compensation for rigid motion) in a manner that does not alter the patient setup or imaging workflow. The method provides a means for accurately estimating the complete geometric description of each projection acquired during a scan by simulating various poses of the x-ray source and detector to determine their unique, scan-specific positions relative to the patient, which is often unknown or inexactly known (e.g., a custom-designed trajectory, or scan-to-scan variability in source and detector position).

摘要: A novel method for simulating radiation dose reduction that enables previews of low-dose x-ray projection images, low-dose computed tomography images and/or cone-beam CT images. Given an existing projection or set of projections of the patient acquired at a nominal dose, the method provides a means to produce highly accurate preview images that accurately reflect the image quality associated with reduced radiation dose. The low-dose preview image accounts for characteristics of the imaging system, including blur, variations in detector gain and electronic noise, and does so in a manner that yields accurate depiction of the magnitude and correlation of image noise in the preview images. A calibration step may be included to establish the system-specific relationship between the mean and variance in detector signal, and incorporate an accurate model for system blur such that correlations in the resulting LDP images are accurate.

摘要: A framework, comprising techniques, process(es), device(s), system(s), combinations thereof, or the like, to analyze propagation of information in prior-image-based reconstruction by decomposing the estimation into distinct components supported by a current data acquisition and by a prior image. Such decomposition can quantify contributions from prior data and current data as a spatial map and/or can trace specific features in an image to a source of at least some of such features.

摘要: A method for processing an image of a series of images includes receiving first data representing a first previously reconstructed image and receiving second data representing a second image. A second image is reconstructed in accordance with the first data, the second data and a noise model. The noise model is a likelihood estimation. The second image is reconstructed in accordance with a penalty function. The penalty function is a roughness penalty function. The penalty function is updated by iteratively adjusting an image volume estimate. The penalty function is updated by iteratively adjusting a registration term. The penalty function is a prior image penalty function and the prior image penalty function and a registration term are jointly optimized. The penalty function is determined in accordance with a noise model. The function is a p-norm penalty function.

摘要: An embodiment in accordance with the present invention provides a technique for localizing structures of interest in projection images (e.g., x-ray projection radiographs or fluoroscopy) based on structures defined in a preoperative 3D image (e.g., MR or CT). Applications include, but are not limited to, spinal interventions. The present invention achieves 3D-2D image registration (and particularly allowing use with a preoperative MR image) by segmenting the structures of interest in the preoperative 3D image and generating a simulated projection of the segmented structures to be aligned with the 2D projection image. Other applications include various clinical scenarios involving 3D-2D image registration, such as image-guided cranial neurosurgery, orthopedic surgery, biopsy, and radiation therapy.
