초록

본 논문에서는 수술 전에 획득한 전산화 단층촬영영상에서 추출한 3차원 정보를 수술 중에 획득한 2차원 X-선 투시영상에 실시간으로 표시하기 위하여 표식기 기반 고속 2차원-3차원 영상정합 방법을 제안한다. 정합과정은 전처리 과정과 실시간 정합 과정으로 나누어진다. 전처리 과점에서 가장 많은 계산량을 필요로 하는 DRR의 생성을 그래픽 하드웨어를 이용하여 고속으로 생성하고, 표식기를 부착한 심장 모형데이타에서 자동으로 표식기를 탐색 추출 한다. 실시간 정합 과정은 주축 정합을 이용한 평면 내부 정합과 구좌표계에서 최소 오차 탐색 방법을 이용한 평면 외부 정합 방법으로 분리하여 계층적으로 정합하여 탐색 범위를 6자유도에서 2자유도로 개선하였다. 본 제안방법은 실시간 계산을 최소화함으로써 정확성을 유지하면서 정합의 효율성을 개선하였다.

This paper proposes a novel technique of marker-based 2D-3D registration to combine 3D information obtained from preoperative CT images into 2D image obtained from intraoperative x-ray fluoroscopy image. Our method is divided into preoperative and intraoperative procedures. In preoperative procedure, we generate CT-derived DRRs using graphics hardware and detect markers automatically. In intraoperative procedure, we propose a hierarchical two- step registration to reduce a degree of freedom from 6-DOP to 2-DOF which is composed of in-plane registration using principal axis method and out-plane registration using minimal error searching method in spherical coordinate. For experimentation, we use cardiac phantom datasets with confirmation markers and evaluate our method in the aspects of visual inspection, accuracy and processing time. As experimental results, our method keeps accuracy and aligns very fast by reducing real-time computations.
