Automatic Multi-View X-Ray/CT Registration Using Bone Substructure Contours
- 基于骨骼子结构轮廓的多视图ICP优化,减少匹配歧义。
- 真实数据测试下平均重投影误差仅0.67毫米,远优于商用方案。
- 全程自动,无需人工标注,适合临床手术导航系统集成。
目的:精准的术中X射线/CT配准对骨科手术导航至关重要。然而现有方法难以在宽范围初始姿态下保持亚毫米级精度,或需人工关键点标注。本文提出一种新型多视角X射线/CT配准方法,用于术中骨骼配准。方法:该方法采用基于轮廓的多视图迭代最近点(ICP)优化,不匹配整个骨骼轮廓,而是聚焦于对应骨骼子结构的具体轮廓类别,降低匹配歧义,提升鲁棒性与精度。仅需两张X射线图像,完全自动运行。此外,构建了5具尸体样本数据集,包含真实X射线图像、图像位姿及对应的CT扫描。结果:在真实X射线图像上以平均重投影误差(mRPD)评估,本方法稳定达到0.67毫米精度,而需人工干预的商用方案为5.35毫米。且方法具备更好实用性,完全自动化。结论:本方法为骨科手术中的多视角X射线/CT配准提供了高效、准确、实用的解决方案,可无缝集成至跟踪系统。通过提升配准精度并减少人工干预,有助于改善计算机辅助手术(CAS)中的术中导航,提升手术精确性与效果。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Purpose: Accurate intraoperative X-ray/CT registration is essential for surgical navigation in orthopedic procedures. However, existing methods struggle with consistently achieving sub-millimeter accuracy, robustness under broad initial pose estimates or need manual key-point annotations. This work aims to address these challenges by proposing a novel multi-view X-ray/CT registration method for intraoperative bone registration. Methods: The proposed registration method consists of a multi-view, contour-based iterative closest point (ICP) optimization. Unlike previous methods, which attempt to match bone contours across the entire silhouette in both imaging modalities, we focus on matching specific subcategories of contours corresponding to bone substructures. This leads to reduced ambiguity in the ICP matches, resulting in a more robust and accurate registration solution. This approach requires only two X-ray images and operates fully automatically. Additionally, we contribute a dataset of 5 cadaveric specimens, including real X-ray images, X-ray image poses and the corresponding CT scans. Results: The proposed registration method is evaluated on real X-ray images using mean reprojection error (mRPD). The method consistently achieves sub-millimeter accuracy with a mRPD 0.67mm compared to 5.35mm by a commercial solution requiring manual intervention. Furthermore, the method offers improved practical applicability, being fully automatic. Conclusion: Our method offers a practical, accurate, and efficient solution for multi-view X-ray/CT registration in orthopedic surgeries, which can be easily combined with tracking systems. By improving registration accuracy and minimizing manual intervention, it enhances intraoperative navigation, contributing to more accurate and effective surgical outcomes in computer-assisted surgery (CAS).
