Endoscopic Studies I: Bronchoscopy and Thoracoscopy

271
Endoscopy is a non-surgical medical technique used to examine a person's internal organs and vessels. This lesson will focus on two types of endoscopic studies: bronchoscopy and thoracoscopy.
Bronchoscopy
Description
Bronchoscopy is a procedure that involves direct visualization of the larynx, trachea, and bronchi for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. A flexible fiber optic or rigid bronchoscope is used to carry out the procedure. The fiber-optic bronchoscope is more frequently used due...

Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Robotics
  • Computer Vision

Background:

  • Vision-Based Tracking (VBT) aims to improve Electromagnetic Tracking (EMT) by resolving CT-to-body divergence in bronchoscopy.
  • Current VBT methods using depth map point clouds face registration ambiguities due to similar airway geometry.
  • Direct Pose Estimation (DPE) offers a potential solution by bypassing depth maps for bronchoscope localization in CT scans.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce and validate a novel self-supervised Direct Pose Estimation (SS-DPE) method for enhanced VBT in bronchoscopy.
  • To evaluate the localization accuracy and anatomical label identification of SS-DPE compared to conventional DPE methods.
  • To assess the impact of specific loss functions, like Pose Consistency Loss, on localization performance.

Main Methods:

  • Developed a self-supervised DPE (SS-DPE) algorithm incorporating a pixel corruption mask and consistency loss functions.
  • Implemented a technique to refine pose predictions towards airway centerlines, mitigating localization drift.
  • Evaluated SS-DPE performance using human-derived lung phantoms, comparing Localization Error and anatomical label identification rates against 3cGAN-based DPE.

Main Results:

  • SS-DPE achieved a statistically significant lower Mean Localization Error (20.9±7.5mm) compared to 3cGAN (27.7±12.6mm) (p=0.014).
  • SS-DPE showed a marginal, non-significant improvement in identifying anatomical airway labels (55.1±20.0% vs. 48.7±26.3%, p=0.505).
  • The Pose Consistency Loss function was identified as crucial for achieving accurate localization.

Conclusions:

  • The proposed SS-DPE method demonstrates superior localization accuracy for VBT in navigated bronchoscopy.
  • Validation on realistic human-derived phantoms confirms the potential of SS-DPE to reduce localization errors.
  • SS-DPE offers a promising advancement for improving the safety and efficacy of image-guided bronchoscopic interventions.
