Dynamic Cone‐Beam Reconstruction Using a Variational Level Set Formulation ‐ Andreas Keil 3

Motivation :: Clinical

Bringing together pre‐operative 3D imaging (conventional CT, mainly used for rule‐out of stenosis) and intra‐interventional angiography (simultaneous diagnosis and intervention) by enabling 4D reconstruction from cone‐ beam projections.

Dynamic Cone‐Beam Reconstruction Using a Variational Level Set Formulation ‐ Andreas Keil 4

Motivation :: Assumptions

Assumption 1: Direct tomographic reconstruction not feasible Perform symbolic reconstruction in a first step (And use recovered motion in subsequent tomographic reconstruction) Assumption 2: Separation of shape reconstruction and motion estimation not feasible (“chicken and egg”) Simultaneously estimate shape and motion

Summary

  • Contributions:

– Dynamic level sets for reconstruction – Data terms for level set reconstruction

  • Future work:

– Phantom / real data – Refined motion models (breathing and non‐periodic motions)

  • Applicability to real cardiac cone‐beam CT:

– Mainly depending on vessel extraction in 2D – Reduction of dependency on vessel extraction by

  • combination with tomographic methods
  • closing loop from reconstruction to segmentation
