Large-Deformation Image Registration of CT-TEE for Surgical Navigation of Congenital Heart Disease.

ABSTRACT: The surgical treatment of congenital heart disease requires navigational assistance with transesophageal echocardiography (TEE); however, TEE images are often difficult to interpret and provide very limited anatomical information. Registering preoperative CT images to intraoperative TEE images provides surgeons with richer and more useful anatomical information. Yet, CT and TEE images differ substantially in terms of scale and geometry. In the present research, we propose a novel method for the registration of CT and TEE images for navigation during surgical repair of large defects in patients with congenital heart disease. Valve data was used for the coarse registration to determine the basic location. This was followed by the use of an enhanced probability model map to overcome gray-level differences between the two imaging modalities. Finally, the rapid optimization of mutual information was achieved by migrating parameters. This method was tested on a dataset of 240 images from 12 infant, children (? 3 years old), and adult patients with congenital heart disease. Compared to the "bronze standard" registration, the proposed method was more accurate with an average Dice coefficient of 0.91 and an average root mean square of target registration error of 1.2655 mm.

Project description:PurposeTo compare cone-beam computed tomography (CT) navigation vs conventional CT image guidance during biopsies.Materials and methodsPatients scheduled for image-guided biopsies were prospectively and randomly assigned to conventional CT guidance vs cone-beam CT navigation. Radiation dose, accuracy of final needle position, rate of histopathologic diagnosis, and number of needle repositions to reach the target (defined as pullback to adjust position) were compared.ResultsA total of 58 patients (mean age, 57 y; 62.1% men) were randomized: 29 patients underwent 33 biopsies with CT guidance and 29 patients with 33 lesions underwent biopsy with cone-beam CT navigation. The average body mass index (BMI) was similar between groups, at 28.8 kg/m(2) ± 6.55 (P = .18). There was no difference between groups in terms of patient and lesion characteristics (eg, size, depth). The average lesion size was 29.1 ± 12.7mm for CT group vs 32.1mm ±16.8mm for cone-beam CT group (P < 0.59). Location of lesions was equally divided between the 2 groups, 20 lung lesions, 18 renal lesions and 20 other abdominal lesions. Mean number of needle repositions in the cone-beam CT group was 0.3 ± 0.5, compared with 1.9 ± 2.3 with conventional CT (P < .001). The average skin entry dose was 29% lower with cone-beam CT than with conventional CT (P < .04 accounting for BMI). The average estimated effective dose for the planning scan from phantom data was 49% lower with cone-beam CT vs conventional CT (P = .018). Accuracy, defined as the difference between planned and final needle positions, was 4.9 mm ± 4.1 for the cone-beam CT group, compared with 12.2 mm ± 8.1 for conventional CT (P < .001). Histopathologic diagnosis rates were similar between groups, at 90.9% for conventional CT and 93.9% for cone-beam CT (P = .67).ConclusionsCone-beam CT navigation for biopsies improved targeting accuracy with fewer needle repositions, lower skin entry dose, and lower effective dose for planning scan, and a comparable histopathologic diagnosis rate.
