    Area of Science:

    • Medical Imaging
    • Computational Anatomy
    • Surgical Navigation

    Background:

    • Intraoperative guidance in open abdominal liver surgery relies on accurate spatial mapping.
    • Sparse surface data acquisition is feasible during surgery with minimal workflow disruption.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and validate a novel nonrigid registration method for reconstructing intraoperative patient space from preoperative CT data using sparse surface measurements.
    • To improve the accuracy of image-guided liver surgery by creating a precise mapping between preoperative and intraoperative spaces.

    Main Methods:

    • A nonrigid registration algorithm employing a tissue mechanics model with iterative boundary condition optimization.
    • Utilizing sparse intraoperative surface data (laser-range scanning or tracked stylus) to drive the registration.
    • Validation using liver phantoms and analysis of clinical datasets, assessing factors like data extent and model complexity.

    Main Results:

    • The proposed nonrigid method achieved a mean target registration error (TRE) of 3.3 mm, significantly outperforming rigid registration (9.5 mm TRE).
    • Demonstrated feasibility and effectiveness using multiple phantom deformation datasets and five clinical cases.
    • Investigated the impact of surface data extent, subsurface data inclusion, and nonlinear tissue models on accuracy.

    Conclusions:

    • The novel nonrigid registration method effectively reconstructs intraoperative patient space from sparse surface data in liver surgery.
    • This approach offers a substantial improvement in registration accuracy over rigid methods, enhancing image-guided surgical navigation.
    • The method shows promise for clinical application in liver resection therapy, with potential for further refinement.
