METHODS, SYSTEMS, AND COMPUTER READABLE MEDIA FOR MAPPING REGIONS IN A MODEL OF AN OBJECT COMPRISING AN ANATOMICAL STRUCTURE FROM ONE IMAGE DATA SET TO IMAGES USED IN A DIAGNOSTIC OR THERAPEUTIC INTERVENTION

摘要

Methods, systems, and computer readable media for mapping a model of an object comprising an anatomical structure in a planning image and an intervention target region within it to intervention-guiding image data are disclosed. According to one method, an initial medial representation object model (m-rep) of an object comprising an anatomical structure is created based on image data of at least a first instance of the object. A patient-specific m-rep is created by deforming the initial m-rep based on planning image data of at least a second instance of the object, wherein the at least second instance of the object is associated with the patient. An intervention target region within the m-rep is identified in an image registered with the planning image. The patient-specific m-rep is correlated to the intervention-guiding image data of the at least second instance of the object, deformed from the planning image. The intervention target region is transferred to the intervention-guiding image according to the transformation between the m-rep in the planning image and the m-rep in the intervention-guiding image.
