    Model Fitting Using RANSAC for Surgical Tool Localization in 3-D Ultrasound Images

  • Original language description

    Ultrasound guidance is used for many surgical interventions such as biopsy and electrode insertion. We present a~method to localize a thin surgical tool such as a biopsy needle or a micro-electrode in a 3D ultrasound image. The proposed method starts with thresholding and model fitting using RANSAC for robust localization of the axis. Subsequent local optimization refines its position. Two different tool image models are presented, one simple and fast, the second using learned a priori information on the tool's voxel intensities and the background. Finally, the tip of the tool is localized by finding an intensity drop along the axis. The simulation study shows that our algorithm can localize the tool at nearly real-time speed, even using a MATLAB implementation, with accuracy better than 1mm. In an experimental comparison to several alternative localization methods, our method appears to be the fastest and the most robust one.
