MR slice-to-volume registration can accurately aid image-guided therapy
July 30th, 2003
MR slice-to-volume registration can accurately aid image-guided therapy. "In this study, we registered live-time interventional magnetic resonance imaging (iMRI) slices with a previously obtained high-resolution MRI volume that in turn can be registered with a variety of functional images, e.g, PET, SPECT, for tumor targeting," researchers in the United States report. "We created and evaluated a slice-to-volume (SV) registration algorithm with special features for its potential use in iMRI-guided radio-frequency (RF) thermal ablation of prostate cancer," wrote B.W. Fei and colleagues, Case Western Reserve University, Department of Biomedical...
