    • This invention relates generally to medical imaging and, in particular, to a method and system for I) reconstructing a model path through a branched tubular organ, II) automatic lymph node station mapping, and III) automatic path or route report generation. Novel methodologies and systems segment and define accurate endoluminal surfaces in airway trees, including small peripheral bronchi. An automatic algorithm is described that searches the entire lung volume for airway branches and poses airway-tree segmentation as a global graph-theoretic optimization problem. A suite of interactive segmentation tools for cleaning and extending critical areas of the automatically segmented result is disclosed. A model path is reconstructed through the airway tree. Additionally, a computer-based system for automatically locating the central chest lymph -node stations in a 3D MDCT image is described. Automated analysis methods extract the airway tree, airway-tree centerlines, aorta, pulmonary artery, lungs, key skeletal structures, and major-airway labels. Geometrical and anatomical cues arising from the extracted structures are used to localize the major nodal stations. The system calculates and displays the nodal stations in 3D. Visualization tools within the system enable the user to interact with the stations to locate visible lymph nodes. Additionally, a method and apparatus for producing and previewing a report for peripheral bronchoscopic procedures using patient-specific MDCT chest scans is disclosed. The report provides quantitative data about the route and both static and dynamic previews of the procedure. Static previews consist of virtual bronchoscopic endoluminal renderings at bifurcations encountered along the route, renderings of the airway tree and ROI at the suggested biopsy location, and three-dimensional cues as to the location for the biopsy.

    • 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。
