Registration of 3-D data sets and 2-D fluoroscopic sequences for application in electro-physiology ablation proceduresThe goal of our research is to develop a method to fuse a
three-dimensional data set of the heart (C-arm-CT, CT, MRI)
with two-dimensional fluoroscopic sequences as acquired
during electrophysiology procedures.
A typical clinical application is the treatment of atrial
fibrillation by catheter ablation in the left atrium. The
fusion of a three-dimensional heart model with fluoroscopic
images facilitates image-based navigation and the display
of further information within a consistent anatomical
context (augmented fluoroscopy).
This method is to be seamlessly integrated into the existing
therapy workflow.Our research focuses on:
-Initial registration of a three-dimensional heart data set
to two-dimensional fluoroscopic images at the beginning of a
procedure
-Re-registration of the data set after patient motion | Project manager:
