Non-rigid Registration of Pre-procedural MRI and Intra-procedural CT for CT-guided Cryoablation Therapy of Liver Cancer 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.

NON-RIGID MR-CT IMAGE REGISTRATION: As shown in this figure, non-rigid registration can enhance visualization of tumor margin and location.

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.
