    摘要: A method for the correction of registration of radiography images comprises means to determine a residual rigid transformation in comparing the pre-operation 3D image with a fluoroscopic image. This residual transformation is determined according to a registration based on the content of the image. Once the residual transformation is computed, it is combined with a geometrical registration. The use of the geometrical registration in this combination enables the making of a real-time registration comprising the motion of the C-arm without any additional registration. And the use of the registration based on the content of the image enables the precision of said geometrical registration to be refined.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for determining acquisition geometry of an imaging system from a set of calibration matrices for an arbitrary position of the system, a projection matrix makes a point in a 2D image correspond to a point of an object in a space. This matrix is produced for any unspecified position of the system from knowledge of a limited number of pre-computed calibration matrices. For instance, a projection matrix may be computed by interpolating coefficients of calibration matrices and/or applying a transformation with a rigid model defined comprehensively or locally to a particular calibration matrix.

    摘要: A system and method for correcting the registration of a 3D image and a 2D image acquired with medical imaging systems is disclosed. The system and method determines acquisition geometry of the imaging system by calculating an initial projection matrix associated with the 2D image. The system performs a projection of the 3D image using the initial projection matrix resulting in a 2D projection of the 3D image. The system registers the 2D projection of the 3D image and the 2D image. A new projection matrix is determined based on the registration of the 2D image and the 2D projection of the 3D image. The 3D image is then registered with the 2D image using the new projection matrix. An associated medical imaging system is disclosed. Method embodiments use previously acquired 3D images or images acquired using imaging modalities different than the one used to acquire the 2D image.

    摘要: An image processing method for interventional imaging in which a region of interest of a patient is viewed. The method comprises acquiring a succession of images of a region of interest of the patient. The method also comprises detecting and tracking, on the successive images, at least one surgical instrument introduced inside the region of interest of the patient, in order to isolate said instrument therein; and comparing two successive images on which the surgical instrument has been isolated in order to identify at least one common shape therein. The method further comprises estimating the displacement of said common shape between both of these successive images; and re-alignment processing of the different successive images depending on the thereby determined estimations of displacements, these displacement estimations being considered as corresponding to the displacement caused by the physiological movement of the patient with the exception of any other movement.
