Abstract
We have designed an image guidance system to aid complex
aortic aneurysm procedures. The system is based around an intensitybased
2D-3D rigid registration algorithm which accurately aligns a vertebra
in the preoperative CT to interventional fluoroscopy. A 3D surface
rendering of the aorta and relevant target vessels is then overlaid onto the
fluoroscopy to aid guidance during the procedure. We report results from
use of the system during twenty three procedures over a ten month period.
Results showed the system to have an overall failure rate of 5.8%,
which was mostly caused by errors in determining a starting position
(misidentifying a vertebra). In 78% of cases our method was within our
target accuracy of 3mm. Non-rigid deformation caused by the interventional
instruments is believed to be the main reason for larger errors. In
twenty one of the twenty three cases the surgeon rated the system as
aiding the procedure.
