1 2015 ANNUAL MAC-AAPM CONFERENCE: Purely Data-Driven Respiratory Motion Compensation Methods for 4D-CBCT Image Registration and Reconstruction M J Riblett 1, E Weiss 1, G E Christensen 2, and G D Hugo 1 1, 2 University of Iowa Baltimore, MD October 2 nd 2015
2 SUPPORT AND DISCLOSURES This work was supported by the National Cancer Institute of the National Institutes of Health under award number R01-CA The authors have no potential conflicts of interest to disclose for this study. 2 of 20
3 Rationale for Motion Compensation Motion Blurring Without Projection Binning (3D-CBCT) Streaking (View Aliasing) With Projection Binning (4D-CBCT) 3 of 20
4 Motion Compensation Methods Backproject-Deform Deform-Backproject Example: Li, 2006 Modified General Example: Template Rit, Reconstruct 4D-CBCT frames from a subset of the projection dataset binned according to a signal (i.e. respiration). 2. Compute an estimate of motion in each reconstructed frame and deform image. 1. Motion model is known upfront or computed prior to 4D-CBCT image reconstruction. 2. Full projection dataset is deformed based on motion model during reconstruction of each frame. 4 of 20
5 Motion Compensation Methods Backproject-Deform Example: Li, 2006 Matthew J. Riblett Example: Medical Physics Rit, 2009 Advantages: + Motion model can be created directly from 4D-CBCT dataset. + Day of treatment modeling. Modified General Advantages: Template Deform-Backproject + Uses full projection dataset for every frame reconstruction. + View aliasing artifact is reduced. Disadvantages: - Projection binning results in view aliasing artifact. - Registration (motion modeling) is challenging due to poor image quality. Disadvantages: - Requires an a priori motion model prior to reconstruction. - May fail to accommodate large variations in patient anatomy or motion over the course of treatment. 5 of 20
6 Purpose of Research To develop purely data-driven 4D-CBCT workflows combining both Matthew motion J. Riblett compensation Medical Physics methods to enhance image quality. Improved CBCT Image 1. Backproject-Deform Registration of 4D-CBCT 2. Deform-Backproject Projection-Warped Reconstruction Motion Model 6 of 20
7 Study Contributions Combination of Both Motion Compensation Methods Backproject-Deform: Build motion model (DVF) from groupwise registration of respiratory phase-correlated 4D-CBCT reconstruction. Deform-Backproject: Apply motion model to warp full projection data during subsequent motion-compensated 4D-CBCT reconstruction. Application of Groupwise Registration to 4D-CBCT Similar methods have demonstrated registration advantages for fanbeam CT, MR, and US. 7 of 20
8 Study Contributions Purely Data-Driven Methods Data-driven methods offer solutions robust to variations in patient anatomy Modified and motion General over Template the course of treatment. A priori motion modeling may be unable to handle large differences in patient anatomy or motion during treatment. Week 2 4D-CT Week 7 4D-CT 8 of 20
9 Groupwise Registration Conventional Registration Groupwise Registration I S2 T 2 T 3 ~ I T I S3 I S2 T G,2 T G,3 ~ I T I S3 I S1 T 1 T 4 I S4 I S1 T G,1 T G,4 I S4 Registrations between source and target frames occur independently, permitting frame-to-frame bias to manifest in the 4D transform. Registration to the target frame occurs simultaneously for all source frames mitigating frame-to-frame bias in the resulting 4D transform. 9 of 20
10 Developed Workflows Workflows can be subdivided by inclusion of one or both motion-compensation methods: Registration Only 1 Registration to Preselected Frame 2 Registration to Mean Frame Registration with Projection-Warping Reconstruction 3 Registration with Reconstruction of Preselected Frame 4 Registration with Reconstruction of Mean Frame 10 of 20

17 Existing Challenges Respiratory Signal Virginia Commonwealth A University Signal acquired from either RPM or Amsterdam Modified shroud General Template for projection sorting and/or reconstruction. Choice of parameters for Amsterdam shroud impact ability to extract signal. B Noise and Artifacts Deleterious image elements cause errors in registration: latches on to erroneous signal and guides transform. Projection-warped reconstruction using: A. accurate signal B. erroneous signal 17 of 20
18 Conclusions Mean v. Preselected Virginia Frame Commonwealth University Image quality improvement is similar for both methods. Current implementation offers computational advantage with preselected. Reconstruction Advantage Registration improves edge sharpness and noise. MC reconstruction improves edge sharpness and image noise while also mitigating appearance of some artifacts. Free-Breathing 4D-CBCT Registration + Reconstruction 18 of 20

Variable Gantry Motion and Flexing Variable image centroid Image blurring Increased X-ray Scattering Over CT ( SPR) Decreased voxel noise in individual projections Decreased contrast (CNR) Incorrect CT numbers (~30% error in MV CBCT)

31 Appendix II: EXISTING MOTION COMPENSATION METHODS
32 Sampling of Existing Motion Compensation Methods Authors Method Matthew J. Riblett Medical Findings Physics Limits Rit et al. (2009) A priori motion modeling with projection warping reconstruction Develops motion model from respiratory signal. DVF compensates for motion in 4D CBCT reconstruction. Requires a planning CT and an a priori motion model. Delmon et al. (2011) Sliding lung mask registration with mutual information metric Masks limit registration to sliding lung anatomy. Registration of frames results in DVF for projection warping during reconstruction. Requires masking of the lung anatomy which may require manual intervention. Metz et al. (2011) Groupwise-cyclic registration with temporal variance metric Implementation can register multiple temporal frames to reference and average frames. Has been applied to CT, MR, and US imaging. Not yet applied to CBCT. Images are transformed; not projection warping.
33 A priori Motion Model Method Rit et al. (2009) Acquires a 4D planning CT with respiratory signal. Offline model correlates signal to organ motion: forms 4D DVF. CBCT projections are acquired and respiratory signal extracted. 3D CBCT image is reconstructed using 4D DVF to warp projections.
34 Sliding Mask Method Delmon et al. (2011) Applies mutual information metric with series of sliding masks DVF is applied during CBCT reconstruction to correct projections. Results in an image with sharper vessels and tumor boundaries. Requires masks.
35 Groupwise Cyclic Method Metz et al. (2011): Computes cost metric as variance in the temporal dimension. Registers to an average phase instead of a reference phase. Imposes smooth cyclic motion constraint. Applied to CT, MR and US imaging. Input CT Image not to CBCT. Registered CT Image

43 Development Steps Implementation Deliverable Component 1. VOLDM methods based on the 1. Python framework (ribpy) for work of Metz et al., and MSD image generation, manipulation, methods with Python Modified backend. General Template basic masking, and sampling. 2. Tested registration settings with clinical images parametrically. 3. Improved the methods performance with phantom model studies. 4. Reconstruct images with motion compensation: projection warping according to DVF 2. Parametric study tool for automatic review of registrations. 3. Geometric phantom generator for thorax modeling and known deformations. 4. Added HNC file I/O and flood field correction to in-house RTK deployment.
44 Observed Challenges Driving Data Quality of initial and motioncompensated images Modified are General Template subject to quality of acquired data (respiratory signal, projections, flood field, etc.) Static Anatomy Close proximity of static and mobile anatomy introduces challenges in registration.
