• Abstract summary: Augmented Reality is used in Image Guided surgery (AR IG) to fuse surgical landmarks from preoperative images into a video overlay. Physical simulation is essential to maintaining accurate position of the landmarks as surgery progresses. In liver procedures, AR IG simulation accuracy is hampered by an inability to model stiffness variations to the patients disease. We introduce a novel method to account for patient specific stiffness variation based on Magnetic Resonance Elastography (MRE) data.

• Abstract: Augmented Reality is used in Image Guided surgery (AR IG) to fuse surgical landmarks from preoperative images into a video overlay. Physical simulation is essential to maintaining accurate position of the landmarks as surgery progresses and ensuring patient safety by avoiding accidental damage to vessels etc. In liver procedures, AR IG simulation accuracy is hampered by an inability to model stiffness variations unique to the patients disease. We introduce a novel method to account for patient specific stiffness variation based on Magnetic Resonance Elastography (MRE) data. To the best of our knowledge we are the first to demonstrate the use of in-vivo biomechanical data for AR IG landmark placement. In this early work, a comparative evaluation of our MRE data driven simulation and the traditional method shows clinically significant differences in accuracy during landmark placement and motivates further animal model trials.

  Deep Learning (DL) models have achieved state-of-the-art performance in diagnosing multiple diseases using reconstructed images as input. DL models are sensitive to varying artifacts as it leads to changes in the input data distribution between the training and testing phases. We propose to use other normalization techniques, such as Group Normalization and Layer Normalization, to inject robustness into model performance against varying image artifacts.

  Intravital X-ray microscopy (XRM) in preclinical mouse models is of vital importance for the identification of microscopic structural pathological changes in the bone. The complexity of this method stems from the requirement for high-quality 3D reconstructions of the murine bones. Motion compensation using epipolar consistency conditions (ECC) has previously shown good performance in clinical CT settings.

  We propose a weakly-supervised deep learning framework that preserves the rigidity and the volume of each vertebra while maximizing the accuracy of the registration. We specifically design these losses to depend only on the CT label maps since automatic vertebra segmentation in CT gives more accurate results contrary to MRI. Our results show that adding the anatomy-aware losses increases the plausibility of the inferred transformation while keeping the accuracy untouched.

  We introduce novel imaging features that can be automatically computed from MR images and fed into machine learning models to predict patient survival. The features measure the deformation caused by the tumor on the surrounding brain structures, comparing the shape of various structures in the patient's brain to their expected shape in healthy individuals. We show that the proposed features carry prognostic value in terms of overall- and progression-free survival, over and above that of conventional non-imaging features.
