A framework for Detection and Depth Prediction for Medical Instruments in Interventional Imaging

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 the guidance of C-arm fluoroscopy. In previous work, we managed to train a CNN that able to 1) detect catheter's tips in real-time and 2)estimate the depth of detected electrodes, however, few things need to be improved: 1) high-resolution detection map, 2) graphical model and make it work on noisy images.

Tasks

  • create ground truth for new dataset (low dose X-ray images)
  • train a CNN model for high resolution detection map
  • ...
