A comparison of six similarity measures for use in intensity-based two-dimensional-three-
dimensional (2-D-3-D) image registration is presented. The accuracy of the similarity …

Describes an extrinsic-point-based, interactive image-guided neurosurgical system
designed at Vanderbilt University, Nashville, TN, as part of a collaborative effort among the …

An image processing technique is presented for finding and localizing the centroids of
cylindrical markers externally attached to the human head in computed tomography (CT) …

Registration of intraoperative fluoroscopy images with preoperative 3D CT images can he
used for several purposes in image-guided surgery. On the one hand, it can be used to …

Endovascular image-guided interventions (EIGI) involve navigation of a catheter through the
vasculature followed by application of treatment at the site of anomaly using live 2D …

Enhanced reality visualization is the process of enhancing an image by adding to it
information which is not present in the original image. A wide variety of information can be …

Evaluation and comparison of registration techniques for image-guided surgery is an
important problem that has received little attention in the literature. In this paper we address …

This correspondence deals with the problem of designing planar shapes for subpixel image
registration. Basic theoretical considerations are shown to lead to a lower bound on location …

This thesis contributes to knowledge by describing a new method to allow information from a
preoperative 3D modality to be used during an intervention which is guided using 2D …

This study extends a previous research concerning intervertebral motion registration by
means of 2D dynamic fluoroscopy to obtain a more comprehensive 3D description of …
