Abstract
Background
Markerless registration is required for image-guided surgery; it has limited accuracy due to the ambiguity of the correspondence point set. In this study, we proposed a registration framework to improve registration accuracy for markerless registration using a dynamic touchable region model (DTRM).
Methods
The DTRM is defined using the geometric characteristics of the surface around the fiducial area using Intrinsic Shape Signature (ISS) keypoints. The new registration procedure, which combines the DTRM with iterative closest point-based registration (ICDTP) was implemented and verified with phantom experiments for a single-user and multi-user study.
Results
The ICDTP registration framework provides improved performance over the paired-point registration for surgeries, where it is inappropriate to construct the corresponding positions with adhesive fiducial markers.
Conclusion
The proposed method can be an alternative approach for image-guided surgery in operations for which it is not appropriate to set up markers for registration.
