Statistical Deformable Model-Based Reconstruction of a Patient-Specific Surface Model from Single Standard X-ray Radiograph

摘要

In this paper, we present a hybrid 2D-3D deformable registration strategy combining a landmark-to-ray registration with a statistical shape model-based 2D-3D reconstruction scheme, and show its application to reconstruct a patient-specific 3D surface model of the pelvis from single standard X-ray radiograph. The landmark-to-ray registration is used to find an initial scale and an initial rigid transformation between the X-ray image and the statistical shape model. The estimated scale and rigid transformation are then used to initialize the statistical shape model-based 2D-3D reconstruction scheme, which combines statistical instantiation and regularized shape deformation with an iterative image-to-model correspondence establishing algorithm. Quantitative and qualitative results of a feasibility study on clinical and cadaveric datasets are given, which indicate the validity of our approach.
