Neural Graphics Primitives-based Deformable Image Registration for On-the-fly Motion Extraction
Neural Graphics Primitives-based Deformable Image Registration for On-the-fly Motion Extraction

In this study, we have successfully integrated NGP into DIR, a novel contribution that significantly enhances the accuracy and efficiency of medical image alignment as demonstrated on the DIR-lab dataset. The NGPDIR framework exhibits robust performance across various metrics, particularly in landmark alignment precision and the accommodation of anatomical sliding boundaries. This advancement not only propels the DIR field forward but also opens new avenues for real-time clinical applications, potentially transforming patient care with its rapid, reliable imaging capabilities.

Uncertainty-aware MR-based CT synthesis for robust proton therapy planning of brain tumour
Uncertainty-aware MR-based CT synthesis for robust proton therapy planning of brain tumour

The enhanced framework incorporates 3D uncertainty prediction and generates high-quality sCTs from MR images. The framework also facilitates conditioned robust optimisation, bolstering proton plan robustness against network prediction errors. The innovative feature of uncertainty visualisation and robust analyses contribute to evaluating sCT clinical utility for individual patients.
