Introduction to Robotics in MedicinePart 3: Robotic Motion Tracking Achim Schweikard
Adding a margin of 1 cm to a target of diameter 1 cm will result in 8-fold increase of Treated Volume
Problems • Internal motion and external motion may have different directions • Hysteresis • Velocity of target during inhalation and exhalation may be different
Stereo X-Ray Camera System Gold fiducial Camera A Camera B
X-Ray with Infrared Tracking • X-ray imaging alone is not fast enough to track respiration in real time • Infrared tracking is very fast, but only reports motion of surface
Solution • Combine external and internal imaging • Internal motion: x-ray • External motion: optical (infrared) tracking • Compute correlation between internal and external motion
Correlation • Model for correlation between internal target motion and surface motion is computed at the beginning of the treatment • Correlation model is updated continuously during treatment
Filtering (1D) • en= dn – xn • xn+1= wn xn • wn+1= wn + (xn/xn2) en
Overview • Patient • Ultrasound-System • Camera guidance Robot • Infrared Tracking-System
Ultrasound-System • Siemens SONOLINE SL 1 • 3,5 MHz
Major Challenges • Fiducial-less tracking
