Non-rigid MR-CT Image Registration Tutorial
Overview
This tutorial demonstrates how to perform MR-CT and Ct-CT non-rigid image registrations. The case study is CT-guided liver tumor cryoablation. The clinical significants are as follows.
- Non-rigid registrations desirable to compensate for liver deformation caused by patient positioning, respiratory motion, and interventional manipulation.
- A multi-modality non-rigid registration method can enhance visualization of tumor margins and location during the planning, targeting, and monitoring phases of CT imaging-guided cryoablation procedure.
In this tutorial, the three steps are performed as shown the figure on right side.
- (1) In the image registration between MR image and planning CT image, we can obtain the moved and deformed MR image and the Bspline transformation matrix T1 by using pre-procedure contrast enhanced MRI and mask image.
- (2) In the image registration between plannning CT image and intra-procedure CT image, we can obtain the moved and deformed planning CT image and the Bspline transformation matrix T2.
- (3) In the image registration between MR image and intra-procedure CT image, we can obtain the moved and deformed MR image by using T1 and T2 BSpline transformation matrices.
For non-rigid registration, BRAINSFitIGT and BRAINSResamle modules are used. In this tutorial, we will show that 3D Slicer with BRAINSFitIGT module allows performing non-rigid image registration and BRAINSResample module allows performing non-rigid image deformation using Bspline transform matrix. We also shows the non-rigid registration method can enhance visualization of tumor margins and location during the planning, targeting, and monitoring phases of CT imaging-guided cryoablation procedure.
