Traditional cardiovascular interventions are carried out
under X-ray fluoroscopy guidance. However, due to the
inherent lack of soft tissue contrast, it is often
difficult to visualize the surrounding anatomical
structures during the interventions. Alternatively, MR-guided
interventions have been proposed in recent years to
address this visualization problem via the use of
realtime imaging or high-resolution prior roadmaps.
Unfortunately, tradeoffs also exist for both of these
approaches. Therefore, we propose to incorporate the
advantages from both imaging acquisitions through
alignment of the high-resolution prior roadmap to the
dynamic realtime images via a novel multiscale
registration framework.
