Are fiducial registration error and target registration error correlated? SciKit-SurgeryFRED for teaching and research.

ABSTRACT: Understanding the relationship between fiducial registration error (FRE) and target registration error (TRE) is important for the correct use of interventional guidance systems. Whilst it is well established that TRE is statistically independent of FRE, system users still struggle against the intuitive assumption that a low FRE indicates a low TRE. We present the SciKit-Surgery Fiducial Registration Educational Demonstrator and describe its use. SciKit-SurgeryFRED was developed to enable remote teaching of key concepts in image registration. SciKit-SurgeryFRED also supports research into user interface design for image registration systems. SciKit-SurgeryFRED can be used to enable remote tutorials covering the statistics relevant to image guided interventions. Students are able to place fi
