Automatic generation of real-time deformable parametric model of the aorta for a VR-based catheterism guidance system

摘要

The purpose of this work is twofold: first, to develop a process to automatically create parametric models of the aorta that can adapt to any possible intraoperative deformation of the vessel. Second, it intends to provide the tools needed to perform this deformation in real time, by means of a non-rigid registration method. This dynamically deformable model will later be used in a VR-based surgery udguidance system for aortic catheterism procedures, showing the vessel changes in real time.
