Abstract

Purpose: X-ray imaging is widely used for guiding minimally invasive surgeries. Despite ongoing efforts in particular toward advanced visualization incorporating mixed reality concepts, correct depth perception from X-ray imaging is still hampered due to its projective nature. Methods: In this paper, we introduce a new concept for predicting depth information from single-view X-ray images. Patient-specific training data for depth and corresponding X-ray attenuation information are constructed using readily available preoperative 3D image information. The corresponding depth model is learned employing a novel label-consistent dictionary learning method incorporating atlas and spatial prior constraints to allow for efficient reconstruction performance. Results: We have validated our algorithm on patient data acquired for different anatomy focus (abdomen and thorax). Of 100 image pairs per each of 6 experimental instances, 80 images have been used for training and 20 for testing. Depth estimation results have been compared to ground truth depth values. Conclusion: We have achieved around 4.40%±2.04 and 11.47%±2.27 mean squared error on abdomen and thorax datasets, respectively, and visual results of our proposed method are very promising. We have therefore presented a new concept for enhancing depth perception for image-guided interventions.
