- A method of image analysis was developed for correlation of hemangiomas detected at computed tomography {(CT)} and/or magnetic resonance {(MR)} imaging with increased blood pool activity evident at single photon emission {CT} {(SPECT)} performed after labeling of red blood cells with technetium-99m. Image analysis was performed in 20 patients with 35 known hepatic hemangiomas. After section thickness and pixel sizes of the different studies were matched, intrinsic landmarks were chosen to identify anatomically corresponding locations. Regions of interest {(ROIs)} drawn on the {CT} and/or {MR} images were translated, rotated, and reprojected to match the areas of interest on the corresponding {SPECT} images by means of a two-dimensional polynomial-based warping algorithm. Analysis of {ROIs} on 30 {SPECT-MR} and 20 {SPECT-CT} pairs of registered images provided absolute confirmation that 34 suspected hemangiomas identified on {SPECT} images correlated exactly with lesions seen on {CT} and/or {MR} images. Accuracy of fusion was within an average of 1.5 pixels +/- 0.8 (+/- 1 standard deviation). The technique enabled diagnostic confirmation of hemangiomas as small as 1.0 cm and proved useful for evaluating lesions located adjacent to intrahepatic vessels.

Techniques for multimodality image registration
- 1993
-
Ingår i: Bioengineering, Proceedings of the Northeast Conference. - 0780309251 ; , s. 221-222
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- The authors describe the development of techniques used for cross-modality correlation of medical images. To accomplish this goal, software routines were developed which automate and standardize the comparison of images within and between three-dimensional tomographic imaging modalities. Data from phantoms and clinical studies reflect the success of this technique.

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Correlation of PET or SPECT functional with CT or MRI anatomic transaxial images often enhances the information available on these studies. Careful registraÂtion of images from two types of studies may be used to identify a structure containing to a PET or SPECT abnormality or to evaluate the functional or metabolic characteristics of an abnormal or normal structure. CTSPECT or PET image registration has been applied to brain imaging for metabolic and cerebral perfusion studies [1–3], more recently, to Ga-67 imaging of the chest [4], as well as to CT-SPECT correlation in cancer patients undergoing immunoscintigraphy [5–7]. We have applied an image registration technique to correlate CT or MRI of the abdomen and chest with SPECT images obtained after the administration of tumor-directed radiolabeled monoclonal antibodies. Correlation of PET or SPECT functional with CT or MRI anatomic transaxial images often enhances the information available on these studies. Careful registration of images from two types of studies may be used to identify a structure containing to a PET or SPECT abnormality or to evaluate the functional or metabolic characteristics of an attempt to improve our interpretation of these imaging studies.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Software that has been developed to automate and standardize comparison of 3D images is discussed. The major approaches to image registration are examined. The authors' registration and reconstruction software is described. Studies carried out to determine the relative accuracy of the present registration methods are reported. The main goal of the authors is to improve on commercial SPECT reconstruction algorithms and provide quantification accuracy sufficient for numerical assessment of tracer distribution.

An integrated approach to biodistribution radiation absorbed dose estimates
- 1993

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- An integrated approach to existing methods of extracting biodistribution data, pharmacokinetics and radiation absorbed dose estimates from serial scintigraphic images is described. This approach employs a single computer-generated user interface to reformat planar scans into a standard file type, align conjugate (anterior and posterior) images, draw regions of interest {(ROIs)} over selected organs and lesions and generate count data for anterior and posterior views and calculated geometric means. Using standard correction methods, the fraction injected activity is obtained for all {ROIs} and total body. This methodology has been applied to the analysis of {indium-III-labelled} breast-cancer-directed antibodies and technetium-90m-labelled {CEA-specific} antibody fragments in non-small-cell lung cancer. It is anticipated that this approach will be useful for evaluating the dosimetry of other radiolabelled monoclonal antibodies, as well as other radiopharmaceuticals.}
