Learning Soft Tissue Behavior of Organs for Surgical Navigation with Convolutional Neural Networks
[article]
2019
arXiv

Purpose: In surgical navigation, pre-operative organ models are presented to surgeons during the intervention to help them in efficiently finding their target. In the case of soft tissue, these models need to be deformed and adapted to the current situation by using intra-operative sensor data. A promising method to realize this are real-time capable biomechanical models. Methods: We train a fully convolutional neural network to estimate a displacement field of all points inside an organ when

... ven only the displacement of a part of the organ's surface. The network trains on entirely synthetic data of random organ-like meshes, which allows us to generate much more data than is otherwise available. The input and output data is discretized into a regular grid, allowing us to fully utilize the capabilities of convolutional operators and to train and infer in a highly parallelized manner. Results: The system is evaluated on in-silico liver models, phantom liver data and human in-vivo breathing data. We test the performance with varying material parameters, organ shapes and amount of visible surface. Even though the network is only trained on synthetic data, it adapts well to the various cases and gives a good estimation of the internal organ displacement. The inference runs at over 50 frames per second. Conclusions: We present a novel method for training a data-driven, real-time capable deformation model. The accuracy is comparable to other registration methods, it adapts very well to previously unseen organs and does not need to be re-trained for every patient. The high inferring speed makes this method useful for many applications such as surgical navigation and real-time simulation.

Atrial arrhythmias like atrial fibrillation and atrial flutter are a major health challenge in developed countries. Radiofrequency ablation performed via intracardiac catheters is a curative therapy for these reentrant arrhythmias. However, the optimal location of ablation lesions is not straightforward to determine, particularly for complex activation patterns. Thus, a clinical need for tools to intuitively visualize complex activation patterns and to provide a platform to evaluate different

... lation strategies in dry runs is apparent. Here, we present a virtual reality system that allows to interactively simulate atrial excitation propagation and place ablation lesions. Our software builds on the IMHOTEP framework for the Unity3D engine and implements a multithreaded model-view-controller design pattern. Excitation propagation is computed using a fast marching approach considering refractoriness. Interactive rewind and playback is supported through a combination of the flyweight pattern for simulation data with complete snapshots for key frames. The system was evaluated in a user study using the HTC Vive™ headset including two controllers. For high fidelity virtual reality interaction, a minimum frame rate of 60 per second is required. In a biatrial anatomical model comprising 36,059 nodes (Figure 1) , even complex activation patterns with multiple wavefronts could be simulated and rendered down to 2x slow motion (1 sec activation sequence displayed during 2 sec wall time) on a desktop machine. Results of the user study suggest added value regarding the comprehension of arrhythmias and ablation options and very good intuitiveness of the user interface requiring almost no teach-in. The virtual reality tool is ready to be used for educational purposes and prepared to import personalized models supporting diagnosis and therapy planning for atrial arrhythmias in the future.

Purpose: The data which is available to surgeons before, during and after surgery is steadily increasing in quantity as well as diversity. When planning a patient's treatment, this large amount of information can be difficult to interpret. To aid in processing the information, new methods need to be found to present multi-modal patient data, ideally combining textual, imagery, temporal and 3D data in a holistic and context-aware system. Methods: We present an open-source framework which allows

... andling of patient data in a virtual reality (VR) environment. By using VR technology, the workspace available to the surgeon is maximized and 3D patient data is rendered in stereo, which increases depth perception. The framework organizes the data into workspaces and contains tools which allow users to control, manipulate and enhance the data. Due to the framework's modular design, it can easily be adapted and extended for various clinical applications. Results: The framework was evaluated by clinical personnel (77 participants). The majority of the group stated that a complex surgical situation is easier to comprehend by using the framework, and that it is very well suited for education. Furthermore, the application to various clinical scenarios - including the simulation of excitation-propagation in the human atrium - demonstrated the framework's adaptability. As a feasibility study, the framework was used during the planning phase of the surgical removal of a large central carcinoma from a patient's liver. Conclusion: The clinical evaluation showed a large potential and high acceptance for the VR environment in a medical context. The various applications confirmed that the framework is easily extended and can be used in real-time simulation as well as for the manipulation of complex anatomical structures.

AbstractRecent technological advances have made Virtual Reality (VR) attractive in both research and real world applications such as training, rehabilitation, and gaming. Although these other fields benefited from VR technology, it remains unclear whether VR contributes to better spatial understanding and training in the context of surgical planning. In this study, we evaluated the use of VR by comparing the recall of spatial information in two learning conditions: a head-mounted display (HMD)

... nd a desktop screen (DT). Specifically, we explored (a) a scene understanding and then (b) a direction estimation task using two 3D models (i.e., a liver and a pyramid). In the scene understanding task, participants had to navigate the rendered the 3D models by means of rotation, zoom and transparency in order to substantially identify the spatial relationships among its internal objects. In the subsequent direction estimation task, participants had to point at a previously identified target object, i.e., internal sphere, on a materialized 3D-printed version of the model using a tracked pointing tool. Results showed that the learning condition (HMD or DT) did not influence participants' memory and confidence ratings of the models. In contrast, the model type, that is, whether the model to be recalled was a liver or a pyramid significantly affected participants' memory about the internal structure of the model. Furthermore, localizing the internal position of the target sphere was also unaffected by participants' previous experience of the model via HMD or DT. Overall, results provide novel insights on the use of VR in a surgical planning scenario and have paramount implications in medical learning by shedding light on the mental model we make to recall spatial structures.
