A new method uses a laser range scanner (LRS) for intraoperative data acquisition in image-guided surgery. This approach, particularly the SurfaceMI technique, shows improved accuracy for registering 3D models during surgery.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Surgical Navigation
  • Computer-Aided Surgery

Background:

  • Image-guided surgery relies on accurate registration of preoperative data with intraoperative information.
  • Acquiring real-time, high-fidelity intraoperative data is crucial for updating surgical models.
  • Laser Range Scanners (LRS) offer potential for dense 3D data acquisition in surgical environments.

Observation:

  • This study introduces a method for acquiring intraoperative data using an LRS for model-updated image-guided surgery.
  • Registration of LRS-generated textured point clouds to tomographic data was evaluated using point-based registration (PBR), iterative closest point (ICP), and a novel SurfaceMI method.
  • Phantom and in vivo studies were conducted to assess the accuracy and robustness of different registration techniques.

Findings:

  • The novel SurfaceMI method, incorporating geometry and intensity via mutual information, demonstrated superior performance in several registration scenarios compared to PBR and ICP.
  • Mean target registration error (TRE) in phantom studies for simulated deep tissue targets was 1.0 ± 0.2 mm (PBR), 2.0 ± 0.3 mm (ICP), and 1.2 ± 0.3 mm (SurfaceMI).
  • For in vivo registration of vessel contours, mean TREs were 1.9 ± 1.0 mm (PBR), 0.9 ± 0.6 mm (ICP), and 1.3 ± 0.5 mm (SurfaceMI), indicating competitive performance of ICP and SurfaceMI.

Implications:

  • The presented LRS data acquisition method and SurfaceMI registration technique show significant promise for enhancing model-updated image-guided surgery.
  • Accurate intraoperative data registration is vital for improving surgical precision and patient outcomes.
  • Further integration of LRS technology could advance real-time surgical navigation and decision-making.
