Depth Estimation for Catheters from Single-View Interventional X-ray Imaging

Guided Research Project
Thesis by: Christoph Baur
Advisor: Prof. Nassir Navab
Supervision: Shadi Albarqouni, Stefanie Demirci, Pascal Fallavollita

Abstract

The recent success of convolutional neural networks in many computer vision tasks implies that their application could also be beneficial for vision tasks in cardiac electrophysiology procedures which are commonly carried out under guidance of C-arm fluoroscopy. Many efforts for catheter detection and reconstruction have been made, but especially robust detection of catheters in X-ray images in realtime is still not entirely solved. In this project, we aim to build a CNN that able to 1) detect catheter's tips in real-time and 2)estimate the depth of detected electrodes.
