초록

본 논문에서는 동일 환자에 대하여 시간차론 두고 촬영한 복부 CT 영상에서 환자의 움직임에 따른 두 영상 간 차이를 보정하기 위하여 지역적 거리전파를 이용한 자동 폐 정합 방법을 제안한다. 본 제안방법은 다음과 같은 세 단계로 구성된다 첫 번째, 일련의 두 볼륨데이타에서 폐 경계를 추출한 후, 폐를 포함하는 최적경계볼륨을 생성하여 초기정합을 수행한다 두 번째, 초기에 촬영한 볼륨데이타에서 지역적 거리전파를 이용하여 폐 경계로부터 3차원 거리맵을 생성한다. 세 번째, 선택적 거리 측정을 통해 두 경계간에 거리차이가 최소인 위치로 영상을 정합한다. 실험으로 3명의 환자 데이타에 대하여 영상정합을 하였고, 기존의 챔퍼매칭 정합 방법과 수행속도와 견고성 측면에서 비교 평가하였다. 본 제안방법은 지역적 거리전파를 사용하여 생성된 3차원 거리맵을 이용한 선택적 거리측정을 통하여 최적의 위치로 빠르고 견고하게 정합된다.

In this Paper, we Propose an automatic lung registration technique using local distance propagation for correcting the difference between two temporal images by a patient's movement in abdomen CT image obtained from the same patient to be taken at different time. The proposed method is composed of three steps. First, lung boundaries of two temporal volumes are extracted, and optimal bounding volumes including a lung are initially registered. Second, 3D distance map is generated from lung boundaries in the initially taken volume data by local distance propagation. Third, two images are registered where the distance between two surfaces is minimized by selective distance measure. In the experiment, we evaluate a speed and robustness using three patients' data by comparing chamfer-matching registration. Our proposed method shows that two volumes can be registered at optimal location rapidly. and robustly using selective distance measure on locally propagated 3D distance map.
