• Abstract: Intra-operative 2D-3D registration of X-ray images with pre-operatively acquired CT scans is a crucial procedure in orthopedic surgeries. Anatomical landmarks pre-annotated in the CT volume can be detected in X-ray images to establish 2D-3D correspondences, which are then utilized for registration. However, registration often fails in certain view angles due to poor landmark visibility. We propose a novel method to address this issue by detecting arbitrary landmark points in X-ray images. Our approach represents 3D points as distinct subspaces, formed by feature vectors (referred to as ray embeddings) corresponding to intersecting rays. Establishing 2D-3D correspondences then becomes a task of finding ray embeddings that are close to a given subspace, essentially performing an intersection test. Unlike conventional methods for landmark estimation, our approach eliminates the need for manually annotating fixed landmarks. We trained our model using the synthetic images generated from CTPelvic1K CLINIC dataset, which contains 103 CT volumes, and evaluated it on the DeepFluoro dataset, comprising real X-ray images. Experimental results demonstrate the superiority of our method over conventional methods. The code is available at https://github.com/Pragyanstha/rayemb.

  Chest X-rays or chest radiography (CXR) enables limited imaging compared to computed tomography (CT) scans. CT scans entail higher costs, greater radiation exposure, and are less accessible than CXRs. In this work we explore cross-modal translation from a 2D low contrast-resolution X-ray input to a 3D high contrast and spatial-resolutionA scan.

  Over-dosed X-rays superimpose potential risks to human health to some extent. Data-driven algorithms from volume scans to X-ray images are restricted by the scarcity of paired X-ray and volume data. We propose CT2X-GAN to synthesize the X-ray images in an end-to-end manner using the content and style disentanglement from three different image domains.

  Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) plays a vital role in clinical imaging. Traditional methods typically require hundreds of 2D X-ray projections to reconstruct a high-quality 3D CBCT image. This has led to a growing interest in sparse-view CBCT reconstruction to reduce radiation doses. We introduce a novel geometry-aware encoder-decoder framework to solve this problem.
