Institute of Image-Guided Surgery (IHU) Strasbourg
The Institute of Image-Guided Surgery of Strasbourg develops innovative surgery to deliver personalized patient care, combining the most advanced minimally invasive techniques and the latest medical imaging methods.
Project CIOS Alpha Fusion funded by IHU Strasbourg has started at the beginning of 2017. The goal of the project is to develop a solution for real-time, accurate, image fusion between 3D anatomical data and 2D X-ray images. This requires to spatially align these two imaging datasets with each other, knowing that a deformation has occurred between the 2 acquisitions. We consider two different cases, of increasing scientific complexity: static image fusion using 2 fluoroscopic images taken at 2 different angles, and dynamic image fusion using a single fluoroscopic image. We also consider two additional scenarios: in the first one, a 3D image or a 3D model has been obtained from a preoperative CTA or MRA while in the second scenario it has been acquired using an intra-operative contrast-enhanced CBCT. In the second case, tissue deformation between the 2D and 3D data is significantly reduced.
The project team involves scientists from the MIMESIS team at Inria, engineers from Siemens as industrial partner, and clinicians from the NHC hospital and IHU.
Research and Clinical Partners
At the regional level, the MIMESIS team collaborates with
-
ICube Automatique Vision et Robotique (AVR): We have been collaborating with the medical robotics team on percutaneous procedures, in particular robotized needle insertion (with Prof. Bernard Bayle), and needle tracking in medical images (with Elodie Breton). We are also collaborating with Jonathan Vappou on elastography.
-
ICube Informatique Géométrique et Graphqiue (IGG): MIMESIS joined the IGG team and develops collaboration in the domain of dynamic topologies, mainly through the use of the CGoGN framework. CGoGN is a C++ library for the manipulation of meshes. It implements combinatorial maps and their multiresolution extensions and has been used in various high level application like the simulation of crowds of autonomous agents and the simulation of cuts, tears and fractures in the context of surgical simulations.
-
Nouvel Hôpital Civil, Strasbourg: since 2014 we have been working with Prof. David Gaucher, an ophthalmologist and expert in retina surgery. This led to the submission of the ANR project RESET which started in March 2015. We also collaborate with Prof. Patrick Pessaux, a surgeon who helps us in the context of the SOFA-OR project.
