• Abstract: Registering CT images of the chest is a crucial step for several tasks such as disease progression tracking or surgical planning. It is also a challenging step because of the heterogeneous content of the human abdomen which implies complex deformations. In this work, we focus on accurately registering a subset of organs of interest. We register organ surface point clouds, as may typically be extracted from an automatic segmentation pipeline, by expanding the Bayesian Coherent Point Drift algorithm (BCPD). We introduce MO-BCPD, a multi-organ version of the BCPD algorithm which explicitly models three important aspects of this task: organ individual elastic properties, inter-organ motion coherence and segmentation inaccuracy. This model also provides an interpolation framework to estimate the deformation of the entire volume. We demonstrate the efficiency of our method by registering different patients from the LITS challenge dataset. The target registration error on anatomical landmarks is almost twice as small for MO-BCPD compared to standard BCPD while imposing the same constraints on individual organs deformation.

  We introduce a novel segmentation algorithm that uses Deep Shape models (DCSMs) Conditional as a core component. To fit the generated shape to the image, the shape model is conditioned on anatomic landmarks that can be automatically detected or provided by the user. We demonstrate that the automatic DCSM outperforms the baseline for non-contrasted CT without the local refinement, and with the refinement for contrasted CT and 3DE, especially with significant improvement in the Hausdorff distance.

  Abdominal organ segmentation from CT and MRI is an essential prerequisite for surgical planning and computer-aided navigation systems.

The resulting method, UNetFlow, generalizes well to all four organs and can be easily fine-tuned on new data.

In addition to our original FocusNet, we employ a novel adversarial shape constraint on small organs to ensure the consistency between estimated small-organ shapes and organ shape prior knowledge.
