IMAGE PROCESSING IN CRYOABLATION OF LIVER CASE: In CT-guided cryoablation, there are a non-rigid registration, (2) an affine registration and (3) a resampling as shown in this figure. These three tasks will be performed in this tutorial.

Non-rigid MR-CT Image Registration Tutorial

Overview

This tutorial demonstrates how to perform a pre-operated contrast enhanced MR image to intra-procedure CT image non-rigid registration. The case study is CT-guided liver tumor cryoablation.


Clinical significants

  • 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.
NON-RIGID MR-CT IMAGE REGISTRATION: This tutorial demonstrates how to perform MR-CT and CT-CT non-rigid registrations. In a CT-guided cryoablation of a liver tumor, we can see the tumor on the preoperative MRI but not on the intra-operative CT image (only cryoprobes visible). The non-rigid registration is used for image fusion to better visualize tumor margins and location, as shown in this figure.
