Journal ArticleDOI
Three-dimensional multi-scale line filter for segmentation and visualization of curvilinear structures in medical images.
Yoshinobu Sato,Shin Nakajima,Nobuyuki Shiraga,Hideki Atsumi,Shigeyuki Yoshida,Thomas Koller,Guido Gerig,Ron Kikinis +7 more
TL;DR: The usefulness of the method is demonstrated by the segmentation and visualization of brain vessels from magnetic resonance imaging and magnetic resonance angiography, bronchi from a chest CT, and liver vessels (portal veins) from an abdominal CT.
Book ChapterDOI
3D Multi-scale line filter for segmentation and visualization of curvilinear structures in medical images
Yoshinobu Sato,Shin Nakajima,Hideki Atsumi,Thomas Koller,Guido Gerig,Shigeyuki Yoshida,Ron Kikinis +6 more
TL;DR: A line-enhancement filter based on the eigenvalues of Hessian matrix aiming at both the discrimination of line structures from other structures and the recovery of original line structuresfrom corrupted ones is developed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tissue classification based on 3D local intensity structures for volume rendering
Yoshinobu Sato,Carl-Fredrik Westin,Abhir Bhalerao,S. Nakajima,Nobuyuki Shiraga,Shinichi Tamura,Ron Kikinis +6 more
TL;DR: The usefulness of the proposed tissue classification method is demonstrated by comparisons with conventional single-channel classification using both synthesized data and clinical data acquired with CT (computed tomography) and MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) scanners.
Journal ArticleDOI
Image guidance of breast cancer surgery using 3-D ultrasound images and augmented reality visualization
Yoshinobu Sato,Masahiko Nakamoto,Yasuhiro Tamaki,Toshihiko Sasama,Isao Sakita,Yoshikazu Nakajima,Morito Monden,Shinichi Tamura +7 more
TL;DR: Augmented reality visualization for the guidance of breast-conservative cancer surgery using ultrasonic images acquired in the operating room just before surgical resection, thereby minimizing the risk of a relapse and maximizing breast conservation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mid-term results of cementless total hip replacement using a ceramic-on-ceramic bearing with and without computer navigation
Nobuhiko Sugano,Takashi Nishii,Hidenobu Miki,Hideki Yoshikawa,Yoshinobu Sato,Shinichi Tamura +5 more
TL;DR: CT-based navigation increased the precision of orientation of the acetabular component and control of limb length in total hip replacement, without navigation-related complications and reduced the rate of dislocation and mechanical problems related to impingement.
