Surface Registrations Between Intraoperative Tracked Probe Data and Preoperative Surfaces

Case No. of scan points Registration A (manual) RMS residual (mm) Registration B (semiautomatic) RMS residual (mm) RMS difference (A to B) (mm)
2 1,600 6.5 (24.9) 6.7 (23.4) 2.3 (5.2)
3 500 5.7 (20.9) 5.0 (19.4) 19.5 (35.6)
4 1,500 5.0 (14.6) 4.9 (19.8) 5.6 (7.7)
5 700 6.0 (17.1) 5.9 (17.1) 6.5 (10.0)
6 2,400 3.0 (20.0) 3.0 (21.2) 1.2 (1.9)
7 1,900 6.4 (24.8) 6.4 (26.4) 2.9 (5.5)
8 2,200 6.5 (20.5) 6.0 (17.9) 3.7 (5.5)

Registration A involves manually segmented preoperative surfaces. Registration B uses surfaces from the semiautomatic level-set technique. The second column indicates the number of intraoperative data points (rounded to nearest 1,000). The third and fourth columns provide the root-mean-square (RMS) (and maximum) surface residual for registrations A and B. The final column holds the RMS difference between registrations A and B.
