The purpose of this study is to evaluate the accuracy of image volume based registration (IVBaR) of 3D ultrasound (US) image volumes of the whole breast acquired at different times. Successful IVBaR could aid in detection of tumor changes in response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy and potentially be useful for routine breast cancer screening and diagnosis. IVBaR was successful in 9 of 10 reproducibility studies, 11 of 15 image pairs collected before and after approximately 45 days of chemotherapy. Doppler study yielded volume of blood flow to the region surrounding the lesion and its change when reducing breast compression. The color flow vessels provided independent measures for validation of registration of the grayscale portion of those images.

Preoperative and intraoperative laparoscopic liver surface registration using deep graph matching of representative overlapping points.

Purpose: In laparoscopic liver surgery, registering preoperative CT-extracted 3D models with intraoperative laparoscopic video reconstructions of the liver surface can help surgeons predict critical liver anatomy. However, the registration process is challenged by non-rigid deformation of the organ due to intraoperative pneumoperitoneum pressure, partial visibility of the liver surface, and surface reconstruction noise.
Methods: First, we learn point-by-point descriptors and encode location information to alleviate the limitations of descriptors in location perception.
The use of ethanol as contrast enhancer in synchrotron X-ray phase-contrast imaging leads to heterogeneous myocardial tissue shrinkage: a case report.

One of the main limitations of conventional absorption-based X-ray micro-computed tomography imaging of biological samples is the low inherent X-ray contrast of soft tissue. To overcome this limitation, the use of ethanol as contrast agent has been proposed to enhance image contrast of soft tissues through dehydration. Some authors have shown that ethanol shrinks and hardens the tissue too much, also causing small tissue ruptures due to fast dehydration.

: Prostate-specific membrane antigen positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PSMA PET/CT), in combination with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), may enhance the diagnosis and staging of prostate cancer. Image fusion of separately acquired PET/CT and MRI images serve to facilitate clinical integration and treatment planning. This study aimed to investigate different PSMA PET/CT and MRI image fusion workflows for prostate cancer visualisation.

Article Synopsis
- The research introduces a new method for aligning partially overlapping point clouds by minimizing a specific binary linear assignment-least squares (BLALS) energy function, allowing for transformation invariance.
- The authors reformulate the BLALS problem into a quadratic function with constraints, utilizing techniques like semidefinite relaxation to create a lower bound that can be solved efficiently.
- Experimental findings show that the method is effective against non-rigid deformation and isolated outliers, although its performance declines when outliers are mixed with inliers, and the algorithm has a high run time due to the iterative nature of semidefinite programming.
Geodesic-Based Maximal Cliques Search for Non-Rigid Human Point Cloud Registration.

Non-rigid point cloud registration holds significant importance for human body pose analysis in the fields of sports, medicine, gaming, etc. In this paper, we propose a non-rigid point cloud registration algorithm based on geodesic distance measurement, which can improve the accuracy of the registration for matching point pairs during non-rigid deformations. Firstly, a graph is constructed for two sets of point clouds using geodesic distance measurement considering that geodesic distance changes minimally during non-rigid deformation of the human body, which can preserve the point cloud matching information between corresponding points.
