A novel technique for the 3D reconstruction of the spine from X-ray images is presented. The algorithm is based on the self-calibration of biplanar radiographs. It allows the 3D reconstruction of spines from old uncalibrated preoperative and postoperative radiographs. The reliability of the new self-calibration technique was investigated by validating its results against those of the Direct Linear Transform (DLT) on real images. An accuracy experiment was also performed using a dry spine specimen under controlled conditions. The results indicate that self-calibration is a viable technique, accurate enough to extract meaningful 3D clinical data for retrospective studies.

Calibration of Stereo Radiography System for Radiostereometric Analysis Application.
Annu Int Conf IEEE Eng Med Biol Soc

This paper describes a new alternative to conventional radiography system currently used for radiostereometric analysis studies. Instead of using two non-calibrated X-ray sources with a cumbersome calibration cage, we propose to use the biplanar radiography EOS system. Its fixed configuration provides a preliminary calibration and a much simpler acquisition protocol.

Visualizing the dynamical movements non-invasively allows complex surgical procedures to be performed with less trauma to the patient. To improve surgical precision, endovascular procedures can benefit from more accurate fluoroscopy data via calibration.

Three-dimensional reconstruction of the femur is important for surgical planning in patients with cerebral palsy. This study aimed to reconstruct the three-dimensional femur shape from un-calibrated bi-planar radiographic images using self-calibration to allow for low-dose preoperative planning. The existing self-calibration techniques require anatomical landmarks that are clearly visible on bi-planar images, which are not available on the femur.

This paper presents a novel self-calibration method of an X-ray scene applied for the 3-D reconstruction of the scoliotic spine. Current calibration techniques either use a cumbersome calibration apparatus or depend on manually identified landmarks to determine the geometric configuration, thus limiting routine clinical evaluation. The proposed approach uses high-level information automatically extracted from biplanar X-rays to solve the radiographic scene parameters.

This paper presents a three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction system of the human spine for the routine evaluation of musculoskeletal pathologies like idiopathic scoliosis. The main objective of this 3D reconstruction system is to offer a versatile and robust tool for the 3D analysis of spines in any healthcare centre with standard clinical setup using standard uncalibrated radiographic images. The novel system uses a self-calibration algorithm and a weak-perspective method to reconstruct the 3D coordinates of anatomical landmarks from bi-planar radiographic images of a patient's trunk.
