Abstract

Endovascular treatment of cerebral aneurysms and arteriovenous malformations (AVM) involves navigation of a catheter through the femoral artery and vascular system into the brain and into the aneurysm or AVM. Intra-interventional navigation utilizes digital subtraction angiography (DSA) to visualize vascular structures and X-ray fluoroscopy to localize the endovascular components. Due to the two-dimensional (2D) nature of the intra-interventional images, navigation through a complex three-dimensional (3D) structure is a demanding task. Registration of pre-interventional MRA, CTA, or 3D-DSA images and intra-interventional 2D DSA images can greatly enhance visualization and navigation. As a consequence of better navigation in 3D, the amount of required contrast medium and absorbed dose could be significantly reduced. In the past, development and evaluation of 3D-2D registration methods received considerable attention. Several validation image databases and evaluation criteria were created and made publicly available in the past. However, applications of 3D-2D registration methods to cerebral angiograms and their validation are rather scarce. In this paper, the 3D-2D robust gradient reconstruction-based (RGRB) registration algorithm is applied to CTA and DSA images and analyzed. For the evaluation purposes five image datasets, each comprised of a 3D CTA and several 2D DSA-like digitally reconstructed radiographs (DRRs) generated from the CTA, with accurate gold standard registrations were created. A total of 4000 registrations on these five datasets resulted in mean mTRE values between 0.07 and 0.59 mm, capture ranges between 6 and 11 mm and success rates between 61 and 88% using a failure threshold of 2 mm.
