Introduction

<img src="/img/framework.png" width="500px"/>

In this work, we propose a novel two-stage 2D/3D registration framework, Embedded Feature Similarity Optimization with Specific Parameter Initialization (SOPI), which can align the images automatically without a large amount of real X-ray data for training and weaken the effect of incorrect initialization on the registration algorithm. In this framework, we propose a regressive parameterspecific module, Rigid Transformation Parameter Initialization (RTPI) module, to initialize pose parameter and an iterative fine-registration network to align the two images precisely by using embedded features. The framework estimates the transformation parameter that best aligns two images using one intra-operative x-ray and one pre-operative CT as input.

Setup

Prerequisites

• Linux
• NVIDIA GPU + CUDA
• python 3.7 (recommended)

Getting Started

• Install torch, torchvision from https://pytorch.org/. It has been tested with torch 1.9.1.
• Check requirements.txt for dependencies. You can use pip install:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Train RTPI

• We strongly recommand you to use the RTPI_v3 model.

• The average running time list blow are the test results on the RTX 3090.

  |Version | RTPI-V1 | RTPI-V2 | RTPI-V3 | |--------- |---------|---------|---------| |Avg.time |0.15s | 0.069s | 0.066s |

cd ./src
python train_RTPI.py

Train composite encoders(fine registration module)

cd ./src
python train_composite_encoder.py
