Accurate calibration of surgical endoscopes is essential for image-enhanced endoscopy. This study presents a new calibration technique and lens-distortion compensation method to improve surgical navigation accuracy.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Surgical Navigation
  • Endoscopy

Background:

  • Image-enhanced endoscopy integrates live endoscopic video with 3D anatomical models.
  • Accurate calibration is crucial for mapping real-time endoscopic views to virtual 3D reconstructions.
  • Existing calibration methods may lack efficiency or simplicity for clinical application.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a novel technique for calibrating surgical endoscopes before procedures.
  • To introduce a linear method for compensating lens distortion in endoscopic images.
  • To evaluate the accuracy of the proposed calibration technique.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a specific calibration procedure for surgical endoscopes.
  • Implementation of a linear lens-distortion compensation algorithm.

  • Accuracy assessment using a purpose-built testing apparatus.

    • Main Results:

    • The described calibration technique was successfully applied to a surgical endoscope.
    • The linear lens-distortion compensation method proved effective.
    • Accuracy testing demonstrated the reliability of the calibration method.

    Conclusions:

    • The presented calibration technique and distortion compensation offer a reliable solution for image-enhanced endoscopy.
    • This method supports accurate mapping between endoscopic video and 3D anatomical models.
    • Improved calibration enhances the precision of surgical navigation systems.
