IGI: DefinitionIGI Journal Club - Nov 25 2015

Image-guided interventions are medical procedures that use computer-based systems to provide virtual image overlays to help the physician precisely visualize and target the surgical site. -Cleary & Peters

Image-guided systems aim at augmenting and complementing the physician's ability to understand the spatial structure of the anatomy by integrating medical images and other sources of information, such as tracked instruments. -Yaniv & Cleary

Image-guided surgery is the general term used for any surgical procedure where the surgeon employs tracked surgical instruments in conjunction with preoperative or intra-operative images in order to indirectly guide the procedure. -Wikipedia

IGI: Aims1. Mitigate the learning curve for minimally invasive

procedures and reduce the variability of the outcome, narrowing the gap between exceptional and standard practice;

2. Enable new minimally invasive procedures, allowing to perform procedures that were previously considered too dangerous;

3. Transform qualitative procedure evaluations into quantitative ones, enabling a quantitative comparison between plan and execution.


A bit of historyIGI Journal Club - Nov 25 2015

X-ray imaging to guide the removal of an industrial sewing needle from a woman’s hand (Birmingham)

1895:

Bullet removed from a victim’s leg by using the radiograph that had been made of the limb (McGill Univ)

1908: Horsley & Clarke report the stereotactic frame.

1970s: Appearance of computed tomography.

1981: Personal computer.

1987: Peters et al. report the first PC-based systems with the capability to plan stereotactic procedures from CT, MRI

1990s: Attempts to move beyond the constraints of the stereotactic frame. Improved imaging and visualisation. Tracking systems.

Imaging: Challenges

• Modalities can observe: low resolution, limited field of view, geometric distortion, noise.

• For most procedures, physicians are still highly dependent on their abi l ity to mental ly reconstruct a three-dimensional scene based on two-dimensional intra-operative images


Visualisation

• A vital link in the procedural chain.

• The surgeon no longer needs to navigate with respect to a single radiograph or CT/MRI image.

• Access to a wealth of 3D (and even 4D) data, often complemented with images from various modalities.


VisualisationIGI Journal Club - Nov 25 2015

VisualisationIGI Journal Club - Nov 25 2015

Visualisation: Challenges

• When images from multiple modalities are being displayed, it is important that they be presented unambiguously to the user.

• Physicians tend to prefer “familiar” views over more complex 3D renderings.


Segmentation

• We all know what segmentation is.

• A lot of work has been done but, no one yet is fully satisfied.

• Intra-operative?


Segmentation: Challenges

• Approach 1: User explicitly defines the desired segmentation

• Approach 2: Algorithms were the specification is implicit.


A balance between both needs to be achieved.


Registration(spatial alignment)

• We also all know what registration is about.

• In the most common clinical scenario, preoperative images must be aligned with the patient on the procedure table.

• Multi-modal fusion


Registration: Challenges

• To date, commercial systems only use rigid registration.

• Some approaches are invasive or require extra-hardware.

• Deformable algorithms lack the robustness required for clinical practice and have only been applied in very limited trials.


Tracking

• Key element of IGI.

• Devices are used to track the positions of instruments relative to patient anatomy.


TrackingIGI Journal Club - Nov 25 2015


Tracking: Challenges

• Optical tracking systems require that a line of sight be maintained between the tracking device and the instrument to be tracked.

• Electromagnetic devices are sensitive to metal objects in the environment.

• Ultrasound-based tracking is slow (static objects).


Software

• Integrates information from tracking systems, correlate the data with the relevant images, and display real-time updates of the instruments and patient.

• Current open source packages:

• 3D Slicer

• MITK

• IGSTK


Software: Challenges

• It needs to be:

• Stable

• Robust

• Easy to use


IGI: Applications

• Image-guided neurosurgery

• Orthopaedics

• Cardiac interventions*


* very complex setups

Overall

• IGI is still evolving as medical imaging and computing power continue to improve.

• Most systems are at the prototype stage.

• Surgery continues to move toward minimally invasive interventions, requiring IGI to improve the precision and quality of medical procedures.

• Research groups are encouraged to form multidisciplinary partnerships between scientific and clinical personnel.
