Abstract

We propose a procedure for the intraoperative generation of attributed relational vessel graphs. It builds the prerequisite for a vessel-based registration of a virtual, patient-individual, preoperative, three-dimensional liver model with the intraopeatively deformed liver by graph matching. An image processing pipeline is proposed to extract an abstract representation of the vascular anatomy from intraoperatively acquired three-dimensional ultrasound. The procedure is transferable to other vascularized soft tissues like the brain or the kidneys. We believe that our approach is suitable for intraoperative application as basis for efficient vessel-based registration of the surgical volume of interest. By reducing the problem of intraoperative registration in visceral surgery to the mapping of corresponding attributed relational vessel graphs a fast and reliable registration seems feasible even in the depth of deformed vascularized soft tissues like in human livers.
