Integration of 3D intraoperative ultrasound for enhanced neuronavigation

Presented at SPIE Medical Imaging 2012 - http://spie.org/mi Keith Paulsen Thayer School of Engineering at Dartmouth; Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Ctr; Norris Cotton Cancer Ctr., Dartmouth Medical School (USA) True three-dimensional (3D) volumetric ultrasound (US) acquisitions stand to benefit intraoperative neuronavigation on multiple fronts. While traditional two-dimensional (2D) US and its tracked, hand-swept version have been recognized for many years to advantage significantly image-guided neurosurgery, especially when coregis- tered with preoperative MR scans, its unregulated and incomplete sampling of the surgical volume of interest have limited certain intraoperative uses of the information that are overcome through direct volume acquisition (i.e, through 2D scan-head transducer arrays). In this presentation, we will illustrate several of these advantages, including fiducial-less, image-based intraoperative registration (and re-registration) and automated, volumetric displacement mapping for intraoperative image updating. These applications of 3D US are enabled by algorithmic advances in US image calibration, and volume rasterization and interpolation for multi-acquisition synthesis that will also be highlighted. We expect to demonstrate that coregistered 3D US is well worth incorporating into the standard neurosurgical navigational environment relative to traditional tracked, hand-swept 2D US.
