Slice-to-volume registration between ultrasound (US) and preoperative computed tomography (CT) imaging would enhance many minimally invasive interventions, for example by locating soft tissue structur...
arXiv:2607. 17810v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Accurate 3D--2D liver registration, which aligns preoperative 3D models to partial, view-dependent intraoperative surface observations, is critical for AR-guided laparoscopic surgery but remains challenging due to severe occlusion, limited visibility, and the lack of 3D ground-truth supervision.
arXiv:2606. 17379v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Accurate intraoperative liver registration is challenging due to substantial soft-tissue deformation yet sparse intraoperative measurements.
UBone3D is a new framework that completes 3D anatomical shapes from partial ultrasound point clouds using physics-rectified conditional flow matching. It models ultrasound artifacts with a simulated physics proxy and applies test-time physics rectification to guide the completion. The method combines a CT-trained generative shape prior and a physics consistency network, achieving higher reconstruction accuracy and anatomical fidelity than existing baselines.
arXiv:2608.28715v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Ultrasound-guided interventions can require localization of an untracked 2D frame within a 3D anatomical reference. Rigid slice-to-volume registratio...
CUFormer is a modality-aware registration framework that aligns intraoperative ultrasound (US) bone-surface point clouds with preoperative computed tomography (CT) models, addressing challenges from differing imaging physics and partial surface coverage. It introduces a Modality-Aware Transformer (MAT) that encodes modality through identity embeddings and uses modality-specific adapters within a shared geometric matcher, while modeling imaging visibility to weight correspondences. On two CT-US datasets (UltraBones100k and UltraBonesHip) and the CT-RGB-D SpineDepth dataset, CUFormer achieves the lowest mean registration errors, notably reducing RMSE by 65.8% on UltraBones100k compared to the best baseline.
