We have developed a novel model-to-image registration technique which aligns a 3-dimensional model of vasculature with two semiorthogonal fluoroscopic projections. Our vascular registration method is used to intra-operatively initialize the alignment of a catheter and a preoperative vascular model in the context of image-guided TIPS (Transjugular, Intrahepatic, Portosystemic Shunt formation) surgery. Registration optimization is driven by the intensity information from the projection pairs at sample points along the centerlines of the model. Our algorithm shows speed, accuracy and consistency given clinical data.

Accuracy of Computer Navigation-Assisted Arthroscopic Osteochondroplasty for Cam-Type Femoroacetabular Impingement Using the Model-to-Image Registration Method.

Background: Precise osteochondroplasty is important in arthroscopic hip surgery for cam-type femoroacetabular impingement (FAI). Although computer-assisted surgery with a navigation system may enhance the accuracy of arthroscopic osteochondroplasty, few clinical studies have assessed its accuracy.
Purpose: To evaluate the accuracy of arthroscopic osteochondroplasty by a computed tomography (CT)-based navigation system for cam-type FAI, using 3-dimensional (3D) reconstruction with more detail compared with previous methods.

Background And Objective: Evaluation of biventricular function is an essential component of clinical management in pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). This study aims to examine the utility of biventricular strains derived from a model-to-image registration technique in PAH patients in comparison to age- and gender-matched normal controls.
Methods: A three-dimensional (3D) model was reconstructed from cine short- and long-axis cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) images and subsequently partitioned into right ventricle (RV), left ventricle (LV) and septum.
Automatic tandem and ring reconstruction using MRI for cervical cancer brachytherapy.

Department of Radiation Oncology and Molecular Radiation Sciences, Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, MD, 21287, USA.
Purpose: The MRI-guided cervical cancer brachytherapy provides unparalleled soft-tissue contrast for target and normal tissue contouring, but eliminates the ability to use conventional metallic fiducials for radiation source path reconstruction as required for treatment planning. Instead, the source path is reconstructed by manually aligning a library model to the signal void produced by the applicator, which takes time intraoperatively and precludes fully automated treatment planning. The purpose of this study is to present and validate an algorithm to automatically reconstruct tandem and ring applicators using MRI for cervical cancer brachytherapy treatment planning.

Background: There is an interest in quantifying dynamic hip kinematics before and after total hip arthroplasty (THA) during chair-rising: one of daily life activities.
Methods: The study consisted of 21 patients who underwent unilateral total hip arthroplasty for symptomatic osteoarthritis. We obtained continuous radiographs using a flat-panel X-ray detector while the participants rose from chair.

Background: We prospectively analyzed the hip kinematics in patients with developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) before and after periacetabular osteotomy (PAO) and in healthy subjects while squatting to determine the influence of coverage of the femoral head on hip kinematics.
Methods: 14 hips in 14 patients with DDH and 10 hips in 10 volunteers were included. Continuous radiographs while squatting and computed tomography images were obtained to assess the in vivo kinematics of the hip and the rim-neck distance using density-based 3D-to-2D model-to-image registration techniques.
