    • Methods and apparatus provide continuous guidance of endoscopy during a live procedure. A data-set based on 3D image data is pre-computed including reference information representative of a predefined route through a body organ to a final destination. A plurality of live real endoscopic (RE) images are displayed as an operator maneuvers an endoscope within the body organ. A registration and tracking algorithm registers the data-set to one or more of the RE images and continuously maintains the registration as the endoscope is locally maneuvered. Additional information related to the final destination is then presented enabling the endoscope operator to decide on a final maneuver for the procedure. The reference information may include 3D organ surfaces, 3D routes through an organ system, or 3D regions of interest (ROIs), as well as a virtual endoscopic (VE) image generated from the precomputed data-set. The preferred method includes the step of superimposing one or both of the 3D routes and ROIs on one or both of the RE and VE images. The 3D organ surfaces and routes may correspond to the surfaces and paths of a tracheobronchial airway tree extracted, for example, from 3D MDCT images of the chest.
    • 方法和装置在实时程序中提供内窥镜检查的连续指导。 基于3D图像数据的数据集被预先计算,包括表示通过身体器官到最终目的地的预定义路线的参考信息。 多个实时内窥镜(RE)图像作为操作者显示在身体器官内的内窥镜。 注册和跟踪算法将数据集注册到一个或多个RE图像,并且在内窥镜被局部操纵时连续地保持注册。 然后呈现与最终目的地相关的附加信息,使得内窥镜操作者能够决定该程序的最终操纵。 参考信息可以包括3D器官表面,通过器官系统的3D路线或感兴趣的3D区域(ROI)以及从预先计算的数据集生成的虚拟内窥镜(VE)图像。 优选的方法包括将一个或两个3D路线和ROI叠加在RE和VE图像中的一个或两个上的步骤。 3D器官表面和路线可以对应于例如从胸部的3D MDCT图像提取的气管支气管气道树的表面和路径。

    • A global registration system and method identifies bronchoscope position without the need for significant bronchoscope maneuvers, technician intervention, or electromagnetic sensors. Virtual bronchoscopy (VB) renderings of a 3D airway tree are obtained including VB views of branch positions within the airway tree. At least one real bronchoscopic (RB) video frame is received from a bronchoscope inserted into the airway tree. An algorithm according to the invention is executed on a computer to identify the several most likely branch positions having a VB view closest to the received RB view, and the 3D position of the bronchoscope within the airway tree is determined in accordance with the branch position identified in the VB view. The preferred embodiment involves a fast local registration search over all the branches in a global airway-bifurcation search space, with the weighted normalized sum of squares distance metric used for finding the best match.

    • A method provides guidance to the physician during a live bronchoscopy or other endoscopic procedures. The 3D motion of the bronchoscope is estimated using a fast coarse tracking step followed by a fine registration step. The tracking is based on finding a set of corresponding feature points across a plurality of consecutive bronchoscopic video frames, then estimating for the new pose of the bronchoscope. In the preferred embodiment the pose estimation is based on linearization of the rotation matrix. By giving a set of corresponding points across the current bronchoscopic video image, and the CT-based virtual image as an input, the same method can also be used for manual registration. The fine registration step is preferably a gradient-based Gauss-Newton method that maximizes the correlation between the bronchoscopic video image and the CT-based virtual image. The continuous guidance is provided by estimating the 3D motion of the bronchoscope in a loop. Since depth-map information is available, tracking can be done by solving a 3D-2D pose estimation problem. A 3D-2D pose estimation problem is more constrained than a 2D-2D pose estimation problem and does not suffer from the limitations associated with computing an essential matrix. The use of correlation-based -cost, instead of mutual information as a registration cost^ makes it simpler to use gradient-based methods for registration.
    • 一种方法在活支气管镜检查或其他内窥镜手术过程中向医生提供指导。 支气管镜的3D运动使用快速粗跟踪步骤,接着是精细配准步骤来估计。 跟踪是基于在多个连续支气管镜视频帧之间找到一组对应的特征点,然后估计支气管镜的新姿势。 在优选实施例中,姿态估计基于旋转矩阵的线性化。 通过在目前的支气管镜视频图像上提供一组对应的点,并且基于CT的虚像作为输入,同样的方法也可以用于手动注册。 精细登记步骤优选地是使支气管镜视频图像和基于CT的虚拟图像之间的相关性最大化的基于梯度的高斯 - 牛顿方法。 通过在循环中估计支气管镜的3D运动来提供连续的指导。 由于深度图信息可用,可以通过解决3D-2D姿态估计问题来进行跟踪。 3D-2D姿态估计问题比2D-2D姿态估计问题更受约束,并且不受与计算基本矩阵相关联的限制的影响。 使用基于相关性的成本代替互信息作为注册成本,使得使用基于梯度的方法进行注册变得更为简单。

    • A novel framework for fast and continuous registration between two imaging modalities is disclosed. The approach makes it possible to completely determine the rigid transformation between multiple sources at real-time or near real-time frame-rates in order to localize the cameras and register the two sources. A disclosed example includes computing or capturing a set of reference images within a known environment, complete with corresponding depth maps and image gradients. The collection of these images and depth maps constitutes the reference source. The second source is a real-time or near-real time source which may include a live video feed. Given one frame from this video feed, and starting from an initial guess of viewpoint, the real-time video frame is warped to the nearest viewing site of the reference source. An image difference is computed between the warped video frame and the reference image. The viewpoint is updated via a Gauss- Newton parameter update and certain of the steps are repeated for each frame until the viewpoint converges or the next video frame becomes available. The final viewpoint gives an estimate of the relative rotation and translation between the camera at that particular video frame and the reference source. The invention has far-reaching applications, particularly in the field of assisted endoscopy, including bronchoscopy and colonoscopy. Other applications include aerial and ground-based navigation.
