Definitions
- the present invention generally relates to medical systems and in particular, to a system and method for determining the position of a medical device in a branched anatomical structure by comparing information of images captured at a distal end of the medical device as it moves through the branched anatomical structure with corresponding information extracted from a computer model of the branched anatomical structure.
- Image guided surgery helps surgeons navigate medical devices to targets in patients so that therapeutic and/or diagnostic medical procedures may be performed on the targets.
- the position of a distal end of a medical device may be tracked and its image displayed along with or superimposed on a computer model of an anatomical structure associated with the target.
- the computer model may be generated from pre-operative and/or intra-operative patient anatomy scan data such as x-ray, ultrasound, fluoroscopy, computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and other imaging technologies.
- CT computed tomography
- MRI magnetic resonance imaging
- the medical device may be an endoscope, catheter, or medical instrument that has a steerable tip and flexible body capable of conforming to body passages or lumens leading to the target in a branched anatomical structure of the patient.
- U.S. 2005/0182319 describes tracking movement of anatomical structures using dynamic referencing and/or gating techniques and tracking movement of medical devices as they move inside anatomic structures using Electromagnetic (EM) tracking devices.
- EM Electromagnetic
- Luo Xiongbiao et al. “On Scale Invariant Features and Sequential Monte Carlo Sampling for Bronchoscope Tracking,” Medical Imaging 2011: Visualization, Image-Guided Procedures, and Modeling, edited by Kenneth H. Wong, David R. Homes III, Proc. Of SPIE Vol. 7964, 79640Q, describes a two-stage image-based method for determining a maximum similarity between a current bronchoscope camera frame and a generated virtual frame to determine a bronchoscope pose.
- the first stage predicts the inter-frame motion parameters between consecutive images of a bronchoscope video using scale invariant feature transform (SIFT) features and epipolar geometry analysis.
- SIFT scale invariant feature transform
- the second stage recursively approximates the posterior probability density of the current bronchoscope camera pose in accordance with the estimated result of the first stage. Since the second stage generates a set of random samples that are defined as the camera motion parameters and the similarity between virtual bronchoscopic and patient specific real bronchoscopic images, the current camera motion parameters can be determined to be equal to the pose of one sample that corresponds to the maximum similarity inside the sample set. Although the method has been shown to provide good accuracy, the complexity of its calculations using Sequential Monte Carlo (SMC) methods is unsuitable for real-time applications with a computational time around 3.0 seconds per frame.
- SMC Sequential Monte Carlo
- U.S. Pat. No. 7,756,563 describes a method to perform camera pose estimation in bronchoscopy by continuously aligning a live camera view to a corresponding view which has been rendered from a computer model. It assumes that the estimation from a previous frame is accurate to seed the iterative optimization of the current frame. The method, however, is not able to recover from any tracking failure which is very likely to occur in real life.

- the term processor is understood to include interface logic and/or circuitry for translating and/or communicating signals into and/or out of the processor as well as conventional digital processing logic.
- the memory 161 may be any memory device or data storage system as conventionally used in computer systems.
- the primary and auxiliary display screens, 151 and 152 are preferably computer monitors capable of displaying three-dimensional images to an operator of the system 100 . However, for cost or other considerations, either or both of the primary and auxiliary display screens, 151 and 152 , may be a standard computer monitor capable of only displaying two-dimensional images.
- the medical device 110 has a flexible body 114 , a steerable tip 112 at its distal end 111 , and a hand-operable handle 116 at its proximal end 115 .
- Control cables (not shown) or other control means typically extend from the handle 116 to the steerable tip 112 so that the tip 112 may be controllably bent or turned as shown for example by dotted line versions of the bent tip 112 .
- the medical device 110 may be an endoscope, catheter or other medical instrument having a flexible body and steerable tip.
- the image capturing element 141 may be a stereoscopic or monoscopic camera or other imaging device disposed at the distal end 111 for capturing images that are transmitted to and processed by the image processor 140 and/or display processor 150 and displayed on the primary display screen 151 , auxiliary display screen 152 , and/or other display means according to the various aspects of the invention as described herein.
- the image capturing element 141 may be a fiber-optic bundle that couples to an imaging and processing system on the proximal end of the medical device 110 , such as a fiberscope.
- the image capturing element 141 may also be single or multi-spectral that captures image data in the visible or infrared/ultraviolet spectrum.
- any image capturing element, device, or system referred to herein may be any one or a combination of these and other imaging technologies.
- One of a plurality of fiber optic cables may be coupled at its proximal end to a light source (not shown) for illumination purposes at the distal end 111 .
- Other of the plurality of fiber optic cables may be configured with position and bend or shape sensors such as Fiber Bragg Gratings (or other strain sensors such as those employing Rayleigh scattering) distributed along the length of the medical device 110 so that light passing through these fiber optic cables is processed by the sensor(s) processor 130 to determine a current pose and shape of the medical device 110 .
- FIG. 2 illustrates, as an example, an alternative embodiment of the medical system 100 in which the handle 116 is replaced by an electromechanical interface 170 , controller 180 , and input device 190 for teleoperating the medical device 110 .
- the interface 170 includes actuators for actuating cables in the medical device 110 to steer its tip 112 as well as an actuator for moving the entire medical device 110 forward and backward so that it may be inserted into and retracted out of a patient through an entry port such as a natural body orifice or a surgeon created minimally invasive incision.
- the interface 170 may include an actuator for rotating the medical device 110 about its central longitudinal axis.
- the controller 180 is preferably implemented as hardware, firmware or software (or a combination thereof) in the same one or more computer processors as the processors 130 , 140 , 150 , and 160 , or a different computer processor.
- the flexible body 114 may be passively or actively bendable.
- the medical system can also be a hybrid of the above two examples.
- FIG. 3 illustrates, as an example, a diagram of preoperative tasks that may be performed in planning a medical procedure to be performed on a patient.
- the branched anatomical structure may move during a medical procedure as in the periodic motion of the air and blood circulatory systems or in a non-periodic motion such as a cough or other body spasm.
- a set of images of a patient is acquired using an appropriate imaging technology from which a three-dimensional (3-D) computer model of the branched anatomical structure may be generated.
- an imaging technology include, but are not limited to, fluoroscopy, Magnetic Resonance Imaging, thermography, tomography, ultrasound, Optical Coherence Tomography, Thermal Imaging, Impedance Imaging, Laser Imaging, and nano-tube X-ray imaging. If the branched anatomical structure is subject to expansion/contraction cycles, such as the human lungs, it may be advantageous to acquire the set of images at an extremum using a triggering signal, such as from a respirator or motion detector.
- a three-dimensional (3-D) computer model of the branched anatomical structure is generated from the acquired images of the anatomical structure.
- one or more targets may be identified in the branched anatomical structure.
- the targets are locations or objects in or adjacent to the anatomical structure where or upon which a medical procedure is to be performed.
- the target may be a tumor in or adjacent to the anatomical structure.
- the target(s) may be identified by a surgeon or radiologist in a conventional manner by analysis of the acquired images of the anatomical structure or the generated 3-D computer model information, whichever is more convenient and/or reliable for such identification.
- a navigational path may be determined to and through the anatomical structure for the working end of the medical device 110 to travel to each target.
- the working end is assumed to be the distal end 111 of the medical device 110 .
- the surgeon may determine a suitable navigational path to a target by analyzing the acquired images of the anatomical structure or the generated 3-D computer model so as to take into account any damage to the patient that the medical device 110 may cause as it moves towards the target as well as the shortest time and/or shortest path.
- a computer program may be executed by a processor to perform such analysis to determine the navigational path using artificial intelligence techniques.
- FIG. 4 illustrates, as an example, a view of the auxiliary display screen 152 during navigation of the medical device 110 to a target area in an anatomical structure.
- the view may be either a 2-D or 3-D view of a computer model 420 of the branched anatomical structure and a computer model 410 of the medical device 110 , which is updated in real-time as the medical device 110 moves through the anatomical structure.
- an indication 421 of the target is also shown.
- the auxiliary screen 152 assists the surgeon to steer the medical device 110 through the anatomical structure to the target.
- the branched anatomical structure is a pair of lungs having a plurality of natural body passages or lumens including a trachea, bronchi, and bronchioles.
- the medical device 110 is a bronchoscope and its entry port into the patient is the patient's mouth. Due to the nature of the lungs, the medical device 110 may be guided through a number of linked lumens or branches of the bronchial tree. In doing so, the flexible body 114 of the medical device 110 conforms to the passages through which it travels.
- an image captured by the image capturing element 141 may be shown side-by-side on the primary display screen 151 with a synthetic image which is generated from the 3-D computer model of the branched anatomical structure from the perspective of the distal end 111 of the medical device 110 .
- an arrow may be displayed on the synthetic image to indicate a direction to be taken towards the target.
- a number of pre-operative registration tasks are performed in a conventional manner in preparation of performing a medical procedure on a patient using the system 100 .
- the medical device 110 is localized to a fixed reference frame by, for example, touching the distal end 111 of the medical device 110 to one or more known and stationary points in the fixed reference frame.
- the patient may be registered to the fixed reference frame by touching the distal end 111 of the medical device 110 to one or more points on the patient, which points correspond to identifiable points on the acquired images of the patient such as natural body features or artificial markers.
- the computer model of an anatomical structure may be registered to the patient using corresponding reference points on the patient and the computer model such as natural body features or artificial markers.
- the medical device 110 , branched anatomical structure, and computer model of the anatomical structure may be registered in this way to each other and to the fixed reference frame.
- registration errors may occur between the medical device and the computer model of the branched anatomical structure.
- the registration errors may result from errors in the kinematics used for tracking the distal end of the medical device 110 , errors associated with the sensors used for tracking the position of the distal end, and/or errors caused by movement of the branched anatomical structure.
- misregistration of the branched anatomical structure to the medical device 110 may develop.
- the navigation guidance assistance provided by the system may be in error.
- FIG. 5 illustrates, as an example, a method, which is preferably implemented by the main processor 160 , for registering a computer model of a branched anatomical structure to a medical device so that a position of the medical device in the branched anatomical structure may be determined as the medical device moves through the branched anatomical structure.
- the position of the medical device in the branched anatomical structure indicates the lumen of the branched anatomical structure that the medical device is currently in.
- the method may be used as a standalone registration technique or it may be combined with other registration techniques. For example, the method may be used for global registration and another technique used for local registration.
- the method identifies, tracks, and correlates lumen information that is extracted from images captured from the perspective of a distal end of the medical device as the medical device moves through the branched anatomical structure with corresponding lumen information extracted from the computer model of the branched anatomical structure to enable registration of the distal end of the medical device to the branched anatomical structure.
- the method compares information of topologies, feature attributes, behaviors, and/or relationships of lumens seen in a sequence of captured images with corresponding information of topologies, feature attributes, behaviors, and/or relationships of lumens in the computer model of the branched anatomical structure.
- a most likely match between a path of lumens seen in the sequence of captured images and a path of lumens in the computer model of the branched anatomical structure is then determined to indicate which lumen of the branched anatomical structure the medical device is currently in.
- blobs are extracted, labeled and tracked in sequentially received images until a change occurs in the set of blobs appearing in the images.
- Each extracted blob is extracted so as to indicate a currently entered or enterable lumen in the branched anatomical structure. For example, lumens in the captured image presumably appear as darker holes in the image due to the fact that the further side of the lumen is less illuminated.
- Image processing techniques can then be used to extract the salient dark regions in the image. These extracted salient dark regions are thus referred to herein as “blobs”. Because the extracted blobs indicate lumens, the terms blob and lumen may be used interchangeably herein.
- a sequence of images that are topologically equivalent e.g., a sequence in which the same set of blobs or lumens appears
- a tracklet a sequence in which the same set of blobs or lumens appears
- the path that the medical device moves through the branched anatomical structure is a sequence of tracklets.
- the method receives an image that has been captured, for example by the image capturing element 114 , from the perspective of the distal end of the medical device as the medical device moves through the branched anatomical structure.
- An example of such a received image is shown in FIG. 6 in which a bifurcation in the lungs is shown and downstream bifurcations appear in each of the lumens of the bifurcation.
- the received image may be a monoscopic image (as shown) or a stereoscopic image providing depth information.
- the method processes the received image to extract blobs using any suitable one of a number of well known blob detection algorithms such as Maximally Stable Extremal Regions (MSER).
- MSER Maximally Stable Extremal Regions
- FIG. 7 An example of a processed image is shown in which the coarse outlines of blobs extracted from the received image of FIG. 6 appear. Also shown in FIG. 7 is a line segment for each bifurcation which has one end connected to the centroid of one lumen and the other end connected to the centroid of the other lumen of the bifurcation.
- FIGS. 8-20 illustrate various blob topologies that may result from such processing.
- FIG. 8 illustrates the medical device moving through a lumen 801 where no downstream node is visible at the time.
- FIG. 9 illustrates an example of the medical device moving through a lumen 901 where a downstream bifurcation comprising lumens 902 , 903 is visible.
- FIG. 10 illustrates an example of the medical device moving through a lumen 1001 where a downstream trifurcation comprising lumens 1002 , 1003 , 1004 is visible.
- FIG. 11 illustrates another example of the medical device moving through a lumen 1101 where a downstream trifurcation comprising lumens 1102 , 1103 , 1104 is visible at a different orientation than the trifurcation of FIG. 10 .
- FIGS. 12 and 13 illustrate a sequence of images.
- FIG. 12 and 13 illustrate a sequence of images.
- FIG. 12 illustrates an example of the medical device moving through a lumen 1201 where a first downstream bifurcation comprising lumens 1202 , 1203 is visible and a second downstream bifurcation comprising lumens 1204 , 1205 is visible within the lumen 1203 .
- FIG. 13 illustrates an example of the medical device having moved into lumen 1203 so that lumens 1201 , 1202 are no longer visible.
- each of the extracted blobs is tracked. If the blob is being seen for the first time in the current sequence of images being received by looping through blocks 501 - 504 , then it is labeled with a previously unassigned reference number so that the method may keep track of the blob (or more particularly, the lumen that the blob indicates). On the other hand, if the blob was seen in a previously received image, then it has already been assigned a label and it is tracked instead. Tracking in this context means identifying the blob from one image to another. Generally, such identification may be simply made by taking into account the relative positions that blobs appear in the images.
- FIGS. 18 and 19 illustrate two sequential images in a tracklet.
- a bifurcation comprising blobs/lumens 1802 , 1803 is seen from a distance while the medical device is moving through a lumen 1801 towards the bifurcation.
- FIG. 19 the same bifurcation is seen from a closer distance as the medical device has moved through the lumen 1801 with its distal end being steered towards blob/lumen 1803 .
- blobs 1802 , 1803 may be easily tracked between the images shown in FIGS. 18 and 19 , because their positions relative to each other remain the same (i.e., blob 1802 continues to be the left lumen of the bifurcation and blob 1803 continues to be the right lumen of the bifurcation).
- FIGS. 12 and 13 illustrate a different pair of sequential images resulting in a transition between adjacent tracklets.
- the medical device has moved into one of the lumens 1202 , 1203 since the total number of lumens (i.e., blobs) has decreased.
- the medical device has moved into lumen 1203 . This is because a downstream bifurcation is visible in FIG. 13 and a downstream bifurcation is only visible in lumen 1203 according to the earlier received image shown in FIG. 12 .
- the method makes a determination whether topological equivalence is maintained in the current sequence of images being received as the method loops through blocks 501 - 504 . If the determination in block 504 is a YES, then in block 505 , the method associates the received image with the current tracklet and loops back to block 501 to add to the current sequence of images. On the other hand, if the determination in block 504 is NO, then in block 506 , a new tracklet is defined starting with the most recently received image.
- the current tracklet is then closed so that it includes only the current sequence of images up to, but not including the most recently received image (i.e., the image first showing a change in the set of blobs by a labeled blob disappearing or a new blob appearing).
- a current tracklet may result in extracted blobs as shown in FIG. 12 .
- a new tracklet would then result in extracted blobs as shown in FIG. 13 .
- a primary assumption is the medical device has passed by a node (e.g., bifurcation or trifurcation) and entered into a lumen branching out from the node, such as described in reference to FIGS. 12 and 13 .
- a node e.g., bifurcation or trifurcation
- the primary assumption is the medical device has moved forward in a lumen to a point where a downstream node, such as a bifurcation or trifurcation, is visible.
- a disappearing blob approaching towards and exiting from a boundary of the image in a progression of sequentially captured images affirms the primary assumption that the medical device has passed a node
- a different behavior of a disappearing blob in the sequence of images may refute the primary assumption.
- a sensor capable of sensing the insertion and retraction of the medical device into and out of the branched anatomical structure can refute the primary assumption with a contrary indication.
- additional processing and/or logic may be performed by the method to eliminate false determinations. For example, a single downstream blob/lumen positioned off to one side as shown in FIG. 14 seems unlikely, so the false negative should be ignored. As another example, although three blobs/lumens indicating a trifurcation may appear as shown in FIG. 15 , a comparison of feature attributes for the extracted blobs with corresponding feature attributes for trifurcation blobs in synthetic images generated from the computer model of the branched anatomical structure may expose a false positive determination in the current image.
- a requirement for temporal consistency between successive images may also expose false negatives and positives. False negatives and positives resulting from backing up the medical device and going forward again may also be detected by analyzing successive images.
- the current sequence of images (i.e., the current tracklet) is processed and a most likely match with a path of lumens in the computer model of the branched anatomical structure is determined by taking into account the current tracklet and its adjacent tracklets.
- a most likely match with a path of lumens in the computer model of the branched anatomical structure is determined by taking into account the current tracklet and its adjacent tracklets.
- Each tracklet identified in the first part of the method may correspond to a different lumen of the branched anatomical structure.
- a sequence of tracklets which have been identified by looping through blocks 501 - 510 as the medical device moves through the branched anatomical structure provide a pictorial history of images captured as the medical device moves along a path in the branched anatomical structure.
- the closest match may be designated the most likely match up to that point
- the updated sequence of tracklets may match more closely with one of the other potential matches to indicate a “true” match versus the previously identified “false” match.
- a “false match” error is self-corrected in the method.
- prior art methods generally require the operator to recognize when a “false match” has occurred and to correct the error, which may be very difficult and time consuming for the operator.
- the method identifies potential matches of the current tracklet with locations within the computer model of the branched anatomical structure.
- the current tracklet is not limited to being a tracklet which has ended by the medical device passing through a node of the branched anatomical structure by moving through one lumen leading up to the node and entering into another lumen branching out from the node, this type of tracklet is commonly encountered and will be used for describing the method.
- the potential matches represent a limited set of nodes (e.g., bifurcations and trifurcations) from the universe of all nodes in the branched anatomical structure.
- Numerous filtering criteria may be used to limit the set of nodes (e.g., by identifying potentially matching nodes or by ruling out certain nodes).
- One such filtering criterion is topological equivalence between the current tracklet and potential matches of synthetic images which may be generated from the computer model of the branched anatomical structure.
- the synthetic images represent views within the three-dimensional computer model of the branched anatomical structure that correspond to images captured at the distal end of the medical device as it moves through the branched anatomical structure.
- topological equivalence is preferably a threshold requirement for a synthetic image to be considered as a potential match to the tracklet.
- FIG. 22 illustrates a schematic diagram in which the medical device 110 , as controlled by interface 170 , moves through an opening 2201 and along a curved path 2202 in an anatomical structure represented by block 2200 .
- Four optional sensors 2221 , 2222 , 2223 , 2224 provide information that may be employed to further limit the set of potential node matches.
- Signal communication cables or lines 132 transfer information from the distal end sensors 2222 , 2223 back to the interface 170 .
- the sensor information is then provided to a sensor(s) processor 130 , which may include an analog-to-digital (A/D) converter, so that the information may be converted into a form suitable for processing by the main processor 160 .
- A/D analog-to-digital
- An insertion sensor 2221 may optionally be provided to provide information on how much the medical device has been inserted into the anatomical structure 2200 . With this information, only nodes within a threshold distance to an insertion depth from the opening will be included in the set of potential matches. This type of sensor is especially useful for detecting a direction reversal situation, such as when a medical device has backed out of a bifurcation lumen after previously entering the lumen. Typically, such an insertion sensor 2221 may conventionally be provided in or adjacent to the interface 170 to detect linear movement of the medical device 110 into and out of the anatomical structure 2200 .
- a position sensor 2222 may optionally be provided at the distal end 111 of the medical device 110 to provide position information in three-dimensional space (such as point X K , Y K , Z K illustrated in FIG. 23 ). With this information, only nodes within a threshold distance (such as within an uncertainty range of the sensor) from the sensed position will be included in the set of potential matches.
- An orientation sensor 2223 may optionally be provided at the distal end 111 of the medical device 110 to provide orientation information for the distal end. For example, as illustrated in FIG. 24 , information of an angle ⁇ indicating how much a line 2411 corresponding to the horizontal line of the received image (which has been captured within lumen 2413 ) deviates from a reference line 2412 that is perpendicular to a gravity vector may be provided by the orientation sensor 2223 . With this information, orientations of blobs in the received images may be adjusted to more accurately reflect what they are expected to look like in synthetic images generated from the computer model of the branched anatomical structure.
- This orientation information is particularly useful to prevent possible errors in determining which of the blobs is to the left or to the right of the other (i.e., avoidance of left/right reversal errors) since there will only be one way to associate a two-lumen bifurcation.
- a roll sensor 2224 may optionally be provided to provide information of how much the medical device 110 has been rotated about its longitudinal axis. This information may be useful to estimate an orientation of the distal end when an orientation sensor is unavailable. Typically, such a roll sensor 2224 may conventionally be provided in or adjacent to the interface 170 to detect rotation of the medical device 110 about its longitudinal axis.
- additional filtering data can include historical user inputs that can used to narrow the universe of node possibilities.
- navigation control inputs e.g., steering commands at one or more nodes
- This directional indication(s) can supplement or be used in place of blob tracking techniques, for example to enhance path tracking/lumen identification.
- a user can provide inputs specifically for node filtering purposes (e.g., specific anatomic features such as lumens, bifurcations, and/or other tissue structures can be manually “marked”, labeled, or otherwise identified by the user for subsequent incorporation into the node filtering algorithm). This manual identification of anatomical landmarks can significantly reduce the range of node possibilities.
- Quantitative comparisons may then be performed on the remaining members of the set after filtering the set of potential matches using a topological equivalence criterion and optionally, any available sensor information and/or user inputs.
- One technique for performing such quantitative comparisons uses feature attributes determined from the current tracklet and corresponding feature attributes extracted from the computer model of the anatomical structure for nodes of the computer model.
- feature attributes of the current tracklet should be reasonably close to feature attributes of synthetic images corresponding to the nodes of the computer model in order for the nodes and their synthetic images to be included in the set of potential matches. Since feature attributes may change as the distal end of the medical device is steered towards and through one of the lumens branching out from the node, feature attributes for the current tracklet are preferably determined from images captured prior to such distal end steering taking place.
- the method determines feature attributes for blobs in the current tracklet.
- the feature attributes are used to distinguish different bifurcations from one another and different trifurcations from one another in the branched anatomical structure.
- FIG. 16 illustrates a bifurcation having left and right blobs/lumens 1602 , 1603 as seen in blob/lumen 1601 .
- Measurements of the heights, “a” and “c”, and widths, “b” and “d”, of the left and right lumens may be made according to a common scale (such as pixels in the received image) and ratios calculated to determine feature attributes, such as the ratio of heights, “a/c”, the ratio of widths, “b/d”, aspect ratio for the left blob/lumen, “b/a”, and aspect ratio for the right blob/lumen, “d/c”.
- the aspect ratios in particular may be very informative since they may indicate an angle at which the lumen extends away from the node.
- FIG. 17 illustrates a bifurcation having left and right blobs/lumens 1702 , 1703 as seen in blob/lumen 1701 .
- a horizontal line 1707 on a fixed horizontal plane i.e., a plane perpendicular to a gravity vector
- Another line 1706 is shown which extends through centroids 1704 , 1705 of the blobs/lumens 1702 , 1703 .
- An angle, ⁇ may then be measured or otherwise determined between lines 1707 , 1706 to serve as a feature attribute of the bifurcation.
- the length of the line segment connecting the centroids 1704 , 1705 may also be used for generating other feature attributes of the bifurcation.
- ratios may be calculated by dividing the heights and widths of each blob by the length of the line segment.
- An angle, ⁇ may also be measured or otherwise determined between height lines 1712 , 1713 of blobs 1702 , 1703 to serve as another feature attribute of the bifurcation.
- a similar angle may also be measured or otherwise determined between width lines of the blobs to serve as yet another feature attribute of the bifurcation.
- FIG. 20 illustrates blobs extracted from the received image shown in FIG. 6 .
- the extracted blobs in this case may result from additional image processing of the blobs shown in FIG. 7 .
- a foreground bifurcation includes blobs/lumens 2001 , 2002 .
- blob/lumen 2001 a downstream bifurcation including blobs/lumens 2011 , 2012 is seen.
- blob/lumen 2002 another downstream bifurcation including blobs/lumens 2021 , 2022 is seen.
- a line segment 2003 connects the centroids of blobs/lumens 2001 , 2002
- a line segment 2013 connects the centroids of blobs/lumens 2011 , 2012
- a line segment 2023 connects the centroids of blobs/lumens 2021 , 2022 .
- Several feature attributes may be defined and quantified using the line segments 2003 , 2013 , 2023 .
- the length of each line segment may used in a ratio with heights and/or widths of their respective blobs to define feature attributes for the blobs.
- angles between pairs of line segments may define other feature attributes of the image.
- FIG. 21 illustrates the use of an extracted blob as a template to be compared with corresponding blobs of synthetic images generated from the computer model of the branched anatomical structure (e.g., shape of left blob/lumen of bifurcation in captured image compared to shape of left lumen in synthetic image of a bifurcation from the computer model of the branched anatomic structure).
- blob templates may also be used as feature attributes.
- many feature attributes beyond those described herein may also be defined using various lines and angles which are indicative of the relative shapes, sizes, and orientations of the extracted blobs.
- the feature attributes may be determined for the tracklet (i.e., sequence of topologically equivalent images) by averaging the determined information and/or eliminating outliers in the determined information for the images in the tracklet.
- other feature attributes may be defined and used in the methods described herein which are related to feature points identified in captured images.
- SIFT scale invariant feature transform
- the feature attributes used to compare the real image and the computer model can also be three-dimensional features extracted from multiple image frames using Structure from Motion (SfM) techniques.
- feature attributes determined for a sequence of images may also be used for detecting false negatives and false positives as part of performing block 504 .
- FIGS. 18 and 19 illustrate a sequence of images in which the image shown in FIG. 18 is received prior to the image shown in FIG. 19 .
- the aspect ratio of the left lumen is expected to get smaller while the aspect ratio of the right lumen is expected to get larger.
- Other feature attributes may also be defined to indicate the direction of steering.
- centroid of the blob/lumen 1802 is “A”
- centroid of the blob/lumen 1803 is “B”
- centroid of the lumen 1801 through which the medical device is currently moving through is “C”
- the distance between the centroids of blobs/lumens 1801 , 1803 is expected to get smaller.
- the direction that the distal end of the medical device is being steered may be determined. This information may be used to avoid false negatives as described above.
- the quantitative comparisons performed by the method in block 507 indicate how “close” the feature attributes of blobs in the current tracklet match corresponding feature attributes of blobs in synthetic images of the potential node matches.
- a difference between the aspect ratio of the left blob of a bifurcation in the current tracklet and the aspect ratio of the left blob of a bifurcation in each of the synthetic images of the potential matches may be calculated.
- FIG. 1 As another example, as shown in FIG.
- differences e.g., distances between opposing arrows at Z m and Y n
- differences may be determined and used for quantitative comparison purposes. The lower the difference in this case, the better the match between the tracklet and the node being represented in the synthetic image.
- the quantitative comparisons are preferably converted to a probability or confidence score for each potential match or hypothesis.
- a likelihood of a j th hypothesis (h i,j ) for the i th tracklet (t i ) may be expressed as follows:
- t i h i,j ) Pr ( O i (S)
- t i h i,j ) (1)
- O i represents all the observations associated with t i ;
- O i i (I) represents all image observations associated with t i ; and
- O i (S) represents all available sensor observations associated with t i .
- the method After determining the quantitative comparisons for each of the members in the set of potential matches, the method stores the results of the quantitative comparisons for the current tracklet in a memory such as memory 161 .
- the method identifies potential matches for the transition between the current tracklet to the new tracklet. Similar filtering techniques as described in block 507 may be performed in block 508 .
- a synthetic image corresponding to a view within a lumen may be generated from the computer model of the branched anatomical structure for each lumen in the branched anatomical structure. Captured images associated with the current tracklet and the next tracklet may then be compared with pairs of synthetic images corresponding to pairs of connected lumens within the branched anatomical structure for topological equivalence. Available sensor information may also be used to eliminate pairs of connected lumens within the branched anatomical structure from the set of potential matches for the transition between the current and new tracklets. Quantitative comparisons are then performed on the remaining members of the set of potential matches and preferably converted to a transition probability or confidence score for each potential match or hypothesis.
- the method After determining the quantitative comparisons for each of the members in the set of potential transition matches, the method stores the results of the quantitative comparisons for the transitions from the current tracklet to the new tracklet in a memory such as memory 161 .
- the method determines a most likely match for the sequence of tracklets resulting from looping through blocks 501 - 510 by taking into account information of one or more adjacent tracklets in the sequence of tracklets making up the path of the medical device as it moves through the branched anatomical structure.
- Information of prior tracklets has been stored in the memory during the processing of blocks 507 and 508 for those tracklets while looping through blocks 501 - 510 .
- the likelihood of a hypothetical path “T” for the current tracklet is a combination of the likelihood of the individual hypotheses for the current tracklet and the transition probabilities of adjacent tracklets.
- the transition probability that the medical device switches state from the j th hypothesis at the i th tracklet to the k th hypothesis at the (i+1) th tracklet may be expressed as follows:
- the static prior knowledge of connectivity in the computer model of the branched anatomical structure may be obtained, for example, by performing a patient scan using a suitable imaging modality to capture image slices from which an accurate three-dimensional computer model of the branched anatomical structure may be generated.
- the dynamic knowledge of which lumen branching out of a node indicated by the current tracklet was entered by the medical device may be obtained, for example, by programming the processor with artificial reasoning which follows analytical reasoning as described herein.
- the most likely match for the current sequence of tracklets is then based upon the most likely hypothetical path taken by the medical device.
- the solution may be the path that maximizes the combined probability expressed as follows:
- T * argmax T Pr ( O
- DP Dynamic Programming
- HMM Hidden Markov Model
- the method then redefines the new tracklet as the current tracklet in block 510 and loops back to block 501 to expand on and process the new current tracklet which was previously detected in block 504 .
- the method then continues to loop through blocks 501 - 510 as the medical device continues to move through the branched anatomical structure.
