In order to use pre-operative images during an operation for navigation, they must be registered to the patient's coordinate system in the operating theater or to an intra-ope...
3D reconstruction from image data is required in many medical procedures. Recently, the use of fluoroscopy data to generate these 3D models has been explored. Most existing methods...

In many cases, radio-frequency catheter ablation of the pulmonary veins attached to the left atrium still involves fluoroscopic image guidance. Twodimensional X-ray navigation may...

We introduce an elastic registration approach which is based on a physical deformation model and uses Gaussian elastic body splines (GEBS). We formulate an extended energy function...
Abstract. The incorporation of additional user knowledge into a nonrigid registration process is a promising topic in modern registration schemes. The combination of intensity base...
