Figure 1:
(A). General scheme of the intensity-driven 2D-3D deformation technique. The DVF is iteratively updated so that the DRRs of the deformed Iprior (Inew ) will match the cone-beam projections in the intensity domain. (B). Workflow of the liver biomechanical modeling. A liver tetrahedral mesh is generated from the liver contour. The liver boundary DVF solved by 2D-3D deformation is then used as the boundary conditions to drive the finite element analysis of the liver tetrahedral mesh to solve biomechanically-corrected intra-liver DVF.
