Summary

We developed a novel method using finite element method (FEM) simulations to validate deformable image registration algorithms by analyzing organ displacement. This approach reduces uncertainty by simulating inter-organ contact forces instead of explicit surface matching.

  • A novel FEM-based simulation framework was developed to generate realistic organ deformation.
  • Inter-organ contact forces, driven by boundary conditions on surrounding organs, were used to simulate target organ movement.
  • The generated deformation fields were used to assess the displacement accuracy of various registration methods.
  • Real CT images of the male pelvis were analyzed to validate the proposed system.

    • Main Results:

    • The proposed system successfully registered the prostate in male pelvic CT images without explicit surface matching.
    • The FEM-based simulation approach provided a robust method for generating deformation fields.
    • The system demonstrated its capability to evaluate and compare different registration algorithms.
    • Validation using real medical imaging data confirmed the feasibility of the approach.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed FEM-based simulation approach offers a reliable and accurate method for validating deformable image registration algorithms.
    • Simulating inter-organ contact forces provides a more robust validation than geometry-based surface matching.
    • This novel system enhances the reliability of medical image registration evaluation, particularly for complex anatomical structures like the prostate.
