用磁跟踪实现虚拟透视,减少辐射并提升手术导航精度。

Virtual Fluoroscopy for Interventional Guidance using Magnetic Tracking

  • 结合磁跟踪与自动2D-3D配准,生成实时虚拟透视影像。
  • 误差仅1.55毫米,针尖定位误差3.42毫米,接近真实图像。
  • 适合介入手术导航、医学影像教学,尤其擅长柔性器械追踪。

传统荧光引导介入手术中,X射线成像的二维投影限制了深度感知,且辐射暴露时间长。虚拟荧光结合空间追踪器械是一种有前景的解决方案。尽管磁跟踪在柔性器械追踪上具有优势,但因导管室中的铁磁材料干扰而应用受限。本文提出一种整合磁跟踪的虚拟荧光工作流程,并验证其临床有效性。采用无影桌板场发生器原型,开发了自动2D-3D共享特征点配准方法,建立C臂与患者的空间关系;同时提出通用C臂建模方法,计算理想投照角度并生成对应虚拟荧光图像。在从右前斜90°到左前斜90°的多视角数据集上测试,虚拟图像与真实图像视觉差异不可察觉,平均目标投影距离误差为1.55毫米。在内漏假体插入实验中,多平面视图模拟与实时器械叠加显示有效,平均针尖误差达3.42毫米。结果表明,融合磁跟踪的虚拟荧光能显著改善术中深度感知,其广泛视角覆盖有助于使用者理解X射线成像原理,提升图像获取效率。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Purpose: In conventional fluoroscopy-guided interventions, the 2D projective nature of X-ray imaging limits depth perception and leads to prolonged radiation exposure. Virtual fluoroscopy, combined with spatially tracked surgical instruments, is a promising strategy to mitigate these limitations. While magnetic tracking shows unique advantages, particularly in tracking flexible instruments, it remains under-explored due to interference from ferromagnetic materials in the C-arm room. This work proposes a virtual fluoroscopy workflow by effectively integrating magnetic tracking, and demonstrates its clinical efficacy. Methods: An automatic virtual fluoroscopy workflow was developed using a radiolucent tabletop field generator prototype. Specifically, we developed a fluoro-CT registration approach with automatic 2D-3D shared landmark correspondence to establish the C-arm-patient relationship, along with a general C-arm modelling approach to calculate desired poses and generate corresponding virtual fluoroscopic images. Results: Testing on a dataset with views ranging from RAO 90 degrees to LAO 90 degrees, simulated fluoroscopic images showed visually imperceptible differences from the real ones, achieving a mean target projection distance error of 1.55 mm. An endoleak phantom insertion experiment highlighted the effectiveness of simulating multiplanar views with real-time instrument overlays, achieving a mean needle tip error of 3.42 mm. Conclusions: Results demonstrated the efficacy of virtual fluoroscopy integrated with magnetic tracking, improving depth perception during navigation. The broad capture range of virtual fluoroscopy showed promise in improving the users understanding of X-ray imaging principles, facilitating more efficient image acquisition.
