Deformable registration of preoperative MR and intraoperative long-length tomosynthesis images for guidance of spine surgery via image synthesis.
Computerized Medical Imaging and Graphics : the Official Journal of the Computerized Medical Imaging Society 2024 March 7
PURPOSE: Improved integration and use of preoperative imaging during surgery hold significant potential for enhancing treatment planning and instrument guidance through surgical navigation. Despite its prevalent use in diagnostic settings, MR imaging is rarely used for navigation in spine surgery. This study aims to leverage MR imaging for intraoperative visualization of spine anatomy, particularly in cases where CT imaging is unavailable or when minimizing radiation exposure is essential, such as in pediatric surgery.
METHODS: This work presents a method for deformable 3D-2D registration of preoperative MR images with a novel intraoperative long-length tomosynthesis imaging modality (viz., Long-Film [LF]). A conditional generative adversarial network is used to translate MR images to an intermediate bone image suitable for registration, followed by a model-based 3D-2D registration algorithm to deformably map the synthesized images to LF images. The algorithm's performance was evaluated on cadaveric specimens with implanted markers and controlled deformation, and in clinical images of patients undergoing spine surgery as part of a large-scale clinical study on LF imaging.
RESULTS: The proposed method yielded a median 2D projection distance error of 2.0 mm (interquartile range [IQR]: 1.1-3.3 mm) and a 3D target registration error of 1.5 mm (IQR: 0.8-2.1 mm) in cadaver studies. Notably, the multi-scale approach exhibited significantly higher accuracy compared to rigid solutions and effectively managed the challenges posed by piecewise rigid spine deformation. The robustness and consistency of the method were evaluated on clinical images, yielding no outliers on vertebrae without surgical instrumentation and 3% outliers on vertebrae with instrumentation.
CONCLUSIONS: This work constitutes the first reported approach for deformable MR to LF registration based on deep image synthesis. The proposed framework provides access to the preoperative annotations and planning information during surgery and enables surgical navigation within the context of MR images and/or dual-plane LF images.
