Parallel integral projection transform for straight electrode localization in 3-D ultrasound images

Abstract: Abstract-In surgical practice, small metallic instruments are frequently used to perform various tasks inside the human body. We address the problem of their accurate localization in the tissue. Recent experiments using medical ultrasound have shown that this modality is suitable for real-time visualization of anatomical structures as well as the position of surgical instruments. We propose an imageprocessing algorithm that permits automatic estimation of the position of a line-segment-shaped object. This meth… Show more

“…Most tool localization techniques for 3D ultrasound are based on projections and Hough transform or Radon transform variants [9,10,11,12,13,14,15]. One general disadvantage of projection methods is their computational complexity, even though almost real-time speed can be achieved by using multiresolution [16,17] and Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) implementation [18].…”

“…One general disadvantage of projection methods is their computational complexity, even though almost real-time speed can be achieved by using multiresolution [16,17] and Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) implementation [18]. Mari et al [19] have proposed a fast approach which first limits the region of a 3D US volume, then uses a parallel integral projection (PIP) [14] to locate the position of a small straight tool. A more serious problem is that projection methods are easily confused if other highly echogenic objects are present in the image.…”

“…The idea of modeling the tool using Bézier curves can be also applied to a RHT. Barva et al [15] proposed to use the parallel integral projection (PIP) to localize straight cylindrical objects in 3-D images. This approach is based on the observation that a projection of a tool is minimized when the projection is performed along the tool's axis.…”
