Abstract

The key to image-guided surgery (IGS) technology is to find the transformation relationship between preoperative 3D images and intraoperative 2D images, namely, 2D/3D image registration. A feature-based 2D/3D medical image registration algorithm is investigated in this study. We use a two-dimensional weighted spatial histogram of gradient directions to extract statistical features, overcome the algorithm’s limitations, and expand the applicable scenarios under the premise of ensuring accuracy. The proposed algorithm was tested on CT and synthetic X-ray images, and compared with existing algorithms. The results show that the proposed algorithm can improve accuracy and efficiency, and reduce the initial value’s sensitivity.
