Title †
- Multimodal ultrasound fusion for guidance and monitoring of minimally-invasive procedures
Abstract †
- Apart from its widespread diagnostic use, ultrasound is a
valuable imaging modality for minimally-invasive interventions. In this
context, it is often desired to integrate pre-operative imaging and planning
information with live freehand ultrasound during the procedure. This is
associated with challenging multi-modal registration and real-time image
processing problems. I will give a detailed description of our technology
for image-based CT-ultrasound registration, and present our approach for
real-time respiratory motion compensation based on ultrasound. I will
furthermore introduce a number of GPU-accelerated algorithms for efficient
simulation and reconstruction of ultrasound. All of that is put into context
by describing clinical applications in interventional oncology and
cardiology.
