Abstract

Surgical navigation for abdominal organs has difficulties, such as dynamic deformation, compared with other organs (i.e. brain, bone). Organ deformations prevent surgical navigators from performing accurate navigation based on preoperative information. We are studying on a method for deforming preoperative organ models so that the models are matched to intraoperative shapes. The method is based on the ICP (iterative closest point) algorithm and modal representation of shape deformation. In this paper, we describe preliminary experiments for rigid parameter estimation in the entire registration process, by using range data and surface model reconstructed from X-ray CT of a liver phantom.
