Abstract

Breast cancer is the most common cancer in American women, and is the second most deadly. Current guidance approaches for breast cancer surgery provide distance to a seed implanted near the tumor centroid. Large deformations between preoperative imaging and surgical presentation, coupled with the lack of tumor extent information leads to difficulty in ensuring complete tumor resection. Here we propose a novel image guidance platform that utilizes character-based fiducials for easy detection and small fiducial points for precise and accurate localization. Our system is work-flow friendly, and near-real time with use of stereo cameras for surface acquisition. Using simple image processing techniques, the proposed technique can localize fiducials and character labels, providing updates without relying on video history. Character based fiducial labels can be recognized and used to determine correspondence between left and right images in a pair of stereo cameras, and frame to frame in a sequence of images during a procedure. Letters can be recognized with 89% accuracy using the MATLAB built in optical character recognition function, and an average of 81% of points can be accurately labeled and localized. The stereo camera system can determine surface points with accuracy below 2mm when compared to optically tracked stylus points. These surface points are incorporated to a four-panel guidance display that includes preoperative supine MR, tracked ultrasound, and a model view of the breast and tumor with respect to optically tracked instrumentation.
