Clinical experience with a 3D surface patient setup system for alignment of partial-breast irradiation patients.
PURPOSE: To assess the utility of surface imaging on patient setup for accelerated partial-breast irradiation (APBI). METHODS AND MATERIAL: A photogrammetry system was used in parallel to APBI setup by laser and portal imaging. Surface data were acquired after laser and port-film setup for 9 patients. Surfaces were analyzed in comparison to a reference surface from the first treatment session by use of rigid transformations. The surface model after laser setup was used in a simulated photogrammetry setup procedure. In addition, breathing data were acquired by surface acquisition at a frame rate of 7 Hz. RESULTS: Mean 3D displacement was 7.3 mm (SD, 4.4 mm) and 7.6 mm (SD, 4.2 mm) for laser and port film, respectively. Simulated setup with the photogrammetry system yielded mean displacement of 1 mm (SD, 1.2 mm). Distance analysis resulted in mean distances of 3.7 mm (SD, 4.9 mm), 4.3 mm (SD, 5.6 mm), and 1.6 mm (SD, 2.4 mm) for laser, port film, and photogrammetry, respectively. Breathing motion at isocenter was smaller than 3.7 mm, with a mean of 1.9 mm (SD, 1.1 mm). CONCLUSIONS: Surface imaging for PBI setup appears promising. Alignment of the 3D breast surface achieved by stereo-photogrammetry shows greater breast topology congruence than when patients are set up by laser or portal imaging. A correlation of breast surface and CTV must be quantitatively established.
Three-dimensional in vivo displacements of the shoulder complex from biplanar radiography.
The goal of this study was to adapt roentgen photogrammetry to in vivo studies of shoulder skeletal motion during arm elevation in the scapular plane. Numerous in vitro and in vivo studies have been published describing shoulder bone movements. They involve plain radiographic measurements and utilize a three-dimensional (3D) approach. Measurements are either direct using pins implanted in bones, or indirect recording points on medical images. Roentgen photogrammetry locates points in space from two projections obtained from two different radiographic incidences. The technique has been applied in vivo by implanting metallic balls in bones. However, to be used as a standard clinical procedure, the technique must be adapted to be less invasive. In vivo photogrammetric reconstruction of known points in 3D space requires that the subject is strictly motionless between the successive radiographic exposures or that the exposures are obtained simultaneously. Methods used in this study were developed to allow subsequent exposures to be used for analysis. Numerical tools have been developed to align the two projections of a point in 3D space which have moved slightly between two successive exposures. The standard photogrammetric technique is completed by geometric modeling of the shoulder complex and humerus, and by the control of their mutual proximity at the level of joints. Bones are modeled as a set of simple volumes linked together using geometric shapes described by shape parameters. The coincidence between real bone contours and radiographic projections of the modeled bone gives the values of the shape parameters and the accurate location in space. Results focus on two different topics: errors related to the use of roentgen photogrammetry with successive exposures, and results obtained by applying roentgen photogrammetry to the in vivo shoulder complex. Results describing shoulder bone and joint displacements are presented for comparison with previously published results. The technique of roentgen photogrammetry can successfully be applied to patients. The radiographic protocol is simple, and data can be obtained easily and quickly from the digitized films. The data obtained from asymptomatic shoulders compared favorably with published values. Future research will focus on comparisons between kinematics of the symptomatic and asymptomatic contralateral limbs in volunteers.
Stereometry in very close-range stereophotogrammetry with non-metric cameras for human movement analysis.
In this paper a stereophotogrammetric algorithm based on a black-box approach to the modelling of object to image spaces relationship is proposed. The algorithm is well suited for 'very close-range photogrammetry', with respect to experiments in which the measurement field is 0.5 X 0.5 X 0.5 m or smaller, as in the analysis of a few or small body segments movements. The attainable accuracy is high, better than 0.1% of the observation distance. Non-professional and even different cameras can be used. Consequently an inexpensive experimental set-up can be realized. A very simple, cheap and easily usable calibration object is needed. Computation time for the reconstruction of object-space co-ordinates of point body landmarks is one order of magnitude lower than in the case of the Direct Linear Transformation (DLT) (Abdel Aziz and Karara, Proceedings of the ASP/U1 Symposium on Close-Range Photogrammetry, pp. 1-18. American Society of Photogrammetry, 1971; Marzan and Karara, Proceedings of the Symposium on close-range Photogrammetric Systems, pp. 420-467. American Society of Photogrammetry, 1975). Computation time for calibration is two-fold in respect of the DLT. An example of application to the recording of the movements of the index finger with respect to the metacarpophalangeal joint is given.
Comparison of three techniques for measuring wear of dental restorations.
Measurements of impression profiles, profilometer registrations, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) photogrammetry of metal dies simulating worn restorations were compared as possible techniques for measuring and recording the wear rate of tooth restorations. The results showed that measurements of impression profiles and SEM photogrammetry gave the most accurate results adjacent to regions simulating steep cavity margins, whereas the profilometric technique gave erroneous results in these regions. These errors were related to interference between the conical stylus tip and the steep edges. Moreover, photogrammetry was time-consuming and complex and did not result in better overall precision than with the other evaluation techniques. These drawbacks with SEM photogrammetry were related to complex use of software and low precision of crucial hardware components such as SEM tilt stage and digitizer.
Photogrammetric analysis of the articular surface of the distal radius.
Three-dimensional measurements made using photogrammetry have recently gained popularity with the development of real-time detection facilities and up-to-date equipment. The modelling of human bones presents a particular challenge as the measurements required are difficult to obtain, especially from uneven surfaces. In this study, the articular surfaces of 12 radius bones were evaluated using photogrammetry to obtain three-dimensional coordinates of certain points. Morphometric characteristics of the digital topography of the articular surface were analysed using three-dimensional data from more than 200 points for each specimen. The coronal plane curve, from the tip of the styloid process to the centre of the distal radioulnar articular notch, was found to be similar to the fourth degree polynomial function. A mathematical expression representing the sagittal curve passing through scapholunate border could not be found. Close-range photogrammetry is a safe and precise technique that can provide reliable, reproducible and accurate data for evaluating complex morphological surfaces.
A panning DLT procedure for three-dimensional videography.
The direct linear transformation (DLT) method [Abdel-Aziz and Karara, APS Symposium on Photogrammetry. American Society of Photogrammetry, Falls Church, VA (1971)] is widely used in biomechanics to obtain three-dimensional space coordinates from film and video records. This method has some major shortcomings when used to analyze events which take place over large areas. To overcome these shortcomings, a three-dimensional data collection method based on the DLT method, and making use of panning cameras, was developed. Several small single control volumes were combined to construct a large total control volume. For each single control volume, a regression equation (calibration equation) is developed to express each of the 11 DLT parameters as a function of camera orientation, so that the DLT parameters can then be estimated from arbitrary camera orientations. Once the DLT parameters are known for at least two cameras, and the associated two-dimensional film or video coordinates of the event are obtained, the desired three-dimensional space coordinates can be computed. In a laboratory test, five single control volumes (in a total control volume of 24.40 x 2.44 x 2.44 m3) were used to test the effect of the position of the single control volume on the accuracy of the computed three dimensional space coordinates. Linear and quadratic calibration equations were used to test the effect of the order of the equation on the accuracy of the computed three dimensional space coordinates. For four of the five single control volumes tested, the mean resultant errors associated with the use of the linear calibration equation were significantly larger than those associated with the use of the quadratic calibration equation. The position of the single control volume had no significant effect on the mean resultant errors in computed three dimensional coordinates when the quadratic calibration equation was used. Under the same data collection conditions, the mean resultant errors in the computed three dimensional coordinates associated with the panning and stationary DLT methods were 17 and 22 mm, respectively. The major advantages of the panning DLT method lie in the large image sizes obtained and in the ease with which the data can be collected. The method also has potential for use in a wide variety of contexts. The major shortcoming of the method is the large amount of digitizing necessary to calibrate the total control volume. Adaptations of the method to reduce the amount of digitizing required are being explored.
Comparison between direct clinical and digital photogrammetric measurements in patients with 22q11 microdeletion.
Thanks to recent advances in imaging and computing technology, photoanthropometry has become an increasingly helpful adjunct to obtain objective clinical evidence of morphologic abnormalities in patients with dysmorphic syndromes. The aim of this study was to evaluate measurements made using a new two-dimensional digital photogrammetry technique by comparison with direct clinical measurements. A total of 14 patients with 22q11 microdeletion were included in this study. There were seven females and seven males between 5 and 38 years of age. Sixteen direct clinical measurements were performed using a graduated anthropometric sliding caliper and angle meter. Photogrammetric measurements were made on digital photographs using a commercially available software package. After calibration to one in situ reference on frontal and profile views, photogrammetric measurements were compared to a total of 14 direct clinical measurements made in the same patients. Findings showed that photogrammetric measurements calibrated to an in situ reference were reliable especially on profile views. No statistical difference was found between 10 of the 14 measurements (P> 0.05) including eight of the nine measurements on profile views and two of the five measurements on frontal views. This study indicates that digital photogrammetry is a useful tool but there is still no reliable standard photographic measurement technique.
[Use of x-ray computed tomographic data for the concept of a custom-made hip prosthesis. Exploratory approach].
A custom-made hip prosthesis has to allow to improve the arthroplasty's longevity. In a Computer Aid program Conception (CAD) of such an implant, it becomes necessary to control the accuracy of the 3-D data given by CT Scans. The method employed is based on the comparison between 3-D data given by CT Scans and by photogrammetry. The study was made with a human pelvis including femoral head, without soft tissues. The CT Scans data have been given by automatic extraction of osseous outlines on two hundreds sections (1.5 mm thickness). The photogrammetry data have required five stereocouples for the whole pelvis and four stereocouples for the hip joint (femoral head and cotyle). There nine stereocouples have provided 37,213 points of reference. The comparison between the two sorts of informations shows that the error made in CT Scans acquisition was varying between 0.65 and 1.60 mm. This error is smaller when the outlines are simple, like the femoral diaphyse. The error decreases if we reduce the field size of CT Scan acquisition. These results confirm literature data. But this study has allowed to demonstrate validity of 3-D CT reconstruction. Scanography looks like the best present way of data acquisition. The dimensional précision is sufficient to define the endo-osseous outline, but it must be preserved at the moment of the extraction of this outline. Therefore this extractive can't be manual and must be made directly with processing data given by scanography.
