  • Implementazione e validazione di un metodo di registrazione automatico basato sulla Mutua Informazione per l’integrazione di studi PET e CT, mirato all’inclusione dell’informazione metabolica PET nella radioterapia conformazionale. L’accuratezza della tecnica di registrazione è stata stimata con misure su fantocci e su studi clinici. Nel caso dei fantocci l’accuratezza è risultata inferiore ai 4 mm, negli studi clinici inferiore ai 6mm. (literal)

Abstract
  • AIM: Implementation and validation of an automatic registration method based on mutual information (MI) for the integration of thoracic and abdominal positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) studies, with the purpose to facilitate in a clinical context the inclusion of PET metabolic information in conformal radiotherapy (RT). METHODS: Registration was obtained by modeling a rigid spatial transformation between CT and PET transmission studies. The registration method was based on Normalized Mutual Information (NMI), by iteratively transforming the PET volume, until its optimal alignment to the CT study is achieved, in correspondence of the maximum of NMI. To avoid entrapment in local maxima and to improve convergence speed we introduced a multiresolution scheme. Accuracy of the proposed approach was investigated in experimental data, relative to phantom and patient studies, acquired in conditions similar to clinical situations. RESULTS: In phantom studies the mean error in the 3D space is 3.6 mm (range 3-4 mm) in thoracic region and 3.2 mm (range 2.9-3.7 mm) in abdominal region, considerably less than PET spatial resolution. In patient studies the spatial mean error increases with respect to phantom studies (5.4 mm and 5.2 mm for thorax and abdomen, respectively) but remains comparable to the PET spatial resolution. The accuracy of spatial realignment was thus found adequate for the registration of PET/CT registration, if good patient repositioning was adopted. CONCLUSIONS: The proposed registration method, based on MI, was validated for the integration of PET/CT studies of patients candidate for thoracic and abdominal conformal RT. The method is automatic and provided with a user interface, thus suitable for clinical use. (literal)
