Abstract

Soft tissue deformation represents a significant error source in current surgical navigation systems used for open hepatic procedures. While numerous algorithms have been proposed to rectify the tissue deformation that is encountered during open liver surgery, clinical validation of the proposed methods has been limited to surface based metrics and sub-surface validation has largely been performed via phantom experiments. Tracked intraoperative ultrasound (iUS) provides a means to digitize sub-surface anatomical landmarks during clinical procedures. The proposed method involves the validation of a deformation correction algorithm for open hepatic image-guided surgery systems via sub-surface targets digitized with tracked iUS. Intraoperative surface digitizations were acquired via a laser range scanner and an optically tracked stylus for the purposes of computing the physical-to-image space registration within the guidance system and for use in retrospective deformation correction. Upon completion of surface digitization, the organ was interrogated with a tracked iUS transducer where the iUS images and corresponding tracked locations were recorded. After the procedure, the clinician reviewed the iUS images to delineate contours of anatomical target features for use in the validation procedure. Mean closest point distances between the feature contours delineated in the iUS images and corresponding 3-D anatomical model generated from the preoperative tomograms were computed to quantify the extent to which the deformation correction algorithm improved registration accuracy. The preliminary results for two patients indicate that the deformation correction method resulted in a reduction in target error of approximately 50%.
