Guidance Method Based On 3D-2D Pose Estimation And 3D-Ct Registration With Application To Live Bronchoscopy

US Patent:
7756563, Jul 13, 2010
Filed:
May 19, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/437229
Inventors:
William E. Higgins - State College PA, US
Scott A. Merritt - State College PA, US
Lav Rai - State College PA, US
Assignee:
The Penn State Research Foundation - University Park PA
International Classification:
A61B 5/05
US Classification:
600407, 600423
Abstract:
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.

Fast 3D-2D Image Registration Method With Application To Continuously Guided Endoscopy

US Patent:
7889905, Feb 15, 2011
Filed:
May 19, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/437230
Inventors:
William E. Higgins - State College PA, US
Scott A. Merritt - State College PA, US
Lav Rai - State College PA, US
Assignee:
The Penn State Research Foundation - University Park PA
International Classification:
G06K 9/00
G06K 9/32
A61B 5/05
US Classification:
382130, 382151, 382294, 600424
Abstract:
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.

Methods And Apparatus For 3D Route Planning Through Hollow Organs

US Patent:
2008018, Jul 31, 2008
Filed:
Jan 24, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/018953
Inventors:
William E. Higgins - State College PA, US
Jason D. Gibbs - State College PA, US
Assignee:
The Penn State Research Foundation - University Park PA
International Classification:
A61B 6/03
US Classification:
600425
Abstract:
Methods and apparatus assist in planning routes through hollow, branching organs in patients to optimize subsequent endoscopic procedures. Information is provided about the organ and a follow-on endoscopic procedure associated with the organ. The most appropriate navigable route or routes to a target region of interest (ROI) within the organ are then identified given anatomical, endoscopic-device, or procedure-specific constraints derived from the information provided. The method may include the step of modifying the viewing direction at each site along a route to give physically meaningful navigation directions or to reflect the requirements of a follow-on live endoscopic procedure. An existing route may further be extended, if necessary, to an ROI beyond the organ. The information provided may include anatomical constraints that define locations or organs to avoid; anatomical constraints that confine the route within specific geometric locations; or a metric for selecting the most appropriate route. For example, the metric may define the closest route to the ROI such that the route satisfies all applicable anatomical, device, and procedural constraints.

Method And Apparatus For Continuous Guidance Of Endoscopy

US Patent:
2008020, Aug 28, 2008
Filed:
Jan 30, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/022620
Inventors:
William E. Higgins - State College PA, US
Scott A. Merritt - Ridgecrest CA, US
Lav Rai - State College PA, US
Jason D. Gibbs - State College PA, US
Kun-Chang Yu - State College PA, US
Assignee:
The Penn State Research Foundation - University Park PA
International Classification:
A61B 1/01
US Classification:
600114
Abstract:
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.

Precise Endoscopic Planning And Visualization

US Patent:
2009015, Jun 18, 2009
Filed:
Dec 24, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/344040
Inventors:
William E. Higgins - State College PA, US
Jason D. Gibbs - State College PA, US
Assignee:
The Penn State Research Foundation - University Park PA
International Classification:
A61B 1/012
US Classification:
600104, 600117
Abstract:
Endoscopic poses are used to indicate the exact location and direction in which a physician must orient the endoscope to sample a region of interest (ROI) in an airway tree or other luminal structure. Using a patient-specific model of the anatomy derived from a 3D MDCT image, poses are chosen to be realizable given the physical characteristics of the endoscope and the relative geometry of the patient's airways and the ROI. To help ensure the safety of the patient, the calculations also account for obstacles such as the aorta and pulmonary arteries, precluding the puncture of these sensitive blood vessels. A real-time visualization system conveys the calculated pose orientation and the quality of any arbitrary bronchoscopic pose orientation. A suggested pose orientation is represented as an icon within a virtual rendering of the patient's airway tree or other structure. The location and orientation of the icon indicates the suggested pose orientation to which the physician should align during the procedure.

Guidance Method Based On 3D-2D Pose Estimation And 3D-Ct Registration With Application To Live Bronchoscopy

US Patent:
2010028, Nov 4, 2010
Filed:
Jul 12, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/834076
Inventors:
William E. Higgins - State College PA, US

Assignee:
The Penn State Research Foundation - University Park PA
International Classification:

G06K 9/00
US Classification:
600424, 382103, 382128
Abstract:
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.

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.

Image-Based Global Registration System And Method Applicable To Bronchoscopy Guidance

US Patent:
2011018, Jul 28, 2011
Filed:
Jan 28, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/016093
Inventors:
William E. Higgins - State College PA, US
Rahul Khare - State College PA, US
Scott A. Merritt - Ridgecrest CA, US
Assignee:
The Penn State Research Foundation - University Park PA
International Classification:
A61B 1/00
US Classification:
600117
Abstract:
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.
