#ROTATE IMAGE MULTISPEC REGISTRATION#
The automated registration method is based on Fourier transformation, and has a high success rate (100%), low registration error (0.42 mm), and clinically acceptable computational cost (1.22 second). The spine acts as a fiduciary land marker, allowing the position and orientation of the catheter within the heart to be fully registered. The real-time 3D position of the catheter is acquired via two fluoroscopic images taken at different angles, and a patient-specific 3D heart rendering is produced pre-operatively from a CT scan. This paper describes a new image guidance system by utilizing augmented reality to provide a 3D visual environment and quantitative feedback of the catheter's position within the heart of the patient. The primary mode of visualization during transcatheter procedures for structrural heart disease is fluoroscopy, which suffers from low contrast and lacks any depth perception, thus limiting the ability of an interventionalist to position a catheter accurately. The multiresolution strategy improves the registration accuracy and efficiency to solve the low efficiency of the normalized cross-correlation algorithm.

The Gaussian Laplacian second-order differential operator is introduced as a new similarity measure to increase edge information and internal detail information to solve single information and small convergence regions of the normalized cross-correlation algorithm.

In this experiment, 2D/3D medical image registration algorithm based on the gray level is studied, and the registration based on normalized cross-correlation is realized. For real-time tracking and adjusting the spatial position of surgical instruments, two-dimensional (2D) images provide real-time intraoperative information. Three-dimensional (3D) medical images can provide spatial location information to determine the location of lesions and plan the operation process. Image-guided surgery (IGS) can reduce the risk of tissue damage and improve the accuracy and targeting of lesions by increasing the surgery’s visual field.
