Inter-subject Modelling of Liver Deformation During Radiation Therapy

Abstract: This paper presents a statistical model of the liver deformation that occurs in addition to the quasi-periodic respiratory motion. Having an elastic but still compact model of this variability is an important step towards reliable targeting in radiation therapy. To build this model, the deformation of the liver at exhalation was determined for 12 volunteers over roughly one hour using 4DMRI and subsequent non-rigid registration. The correspondence between subjects was established based on mechanically relevant… Show more

“…Comparing the displacements of the tracked regions with the regions on the actually acquired slice provides the needed information used for the correction of the previously acquired static atlas. In order to compensate these drifts, we introduce a population-based statistical drift model describing the inter-subject variations of exhalation positions in a shared shape-free coordinate system [8]. Shape-free means, that only the relative differences to the first exhalation position of each subject, the drifts, respectively, are used for modelling.…”

“…King et al also proposed a method for estimation of intraoperative liver shape by registering the statistical model to an intraoperative 2D ultrasound image. von Siebenthal et al [61] developed an inter-subject statistical respiration model, which was constructed from 4D CT images of multiple subjects. In their method, a 3D surface model of each subject was divided into small cells based on anatomical features on the liver, and then it was registered to a reference shape model by using correspondence of the cells.…”
