    Adler, S.; Rössling, I.; Fröhlich, M.; Wex, C.; Dornheim, L. & Mecke, R. Echtzeitanalyse und Visualisierung kritischer Abstände für die die minimal-invasive Chirurgiesimulation 2012/11 Proceedings der 11. Jahrestagung der Deutschen Gesellschaft für Computer- und Roboterassistierte Chirurgie (CURAC)   inproceedings
    Abstract: Die Etablierung einer neuen Operationsmethode hängt unter anderem davon ab, welche Eingriffe mit dieser Methode effizient erfolgen können. Eine Fragestellung ist hierbei, ob das Operationsgebiet, von einem Zugang aus erreicht wer-den kann und ob die dort verbleibenden Freiheitsgrade die notwendigen Prozeduren ermöglichen. Dieser Beitrag be-schreibt ein Verfahren, mit dem Abstände virtueller Instrumente zu anatomischen Strukturen in Echtzeit bestimmt und auf der Strukturoberfläche qualitativ visualisiert werden können. Das Verfahren ist Teil einer Testumgebung, um Chi-rurgen bei der Erprobung von Operationen mit neuen Verfahren und Instrumenten perspektivisch zu unterstützen.

Jahrestagung der Deutschen Gesellschaft für Computer- und Roboterassistierte Chirurgie (CURAC)   inproceedings
    Abstract: Es werden vier Werkzeuge vorgestellt, mit denen Segmentierungen interaktiv partitioniert werden können. Sie arbeiten
    bild- oder objekt-basiert.
    Das Skalpell-Werkzeug ermöglicht die Partitionierung einer Segmentierung, indem entlang nutzer-definierter
    Pfade auf der Bildebene Schnittoperationen durchgeführt werden. Über ein Mal-Werkzeug können bild-basiert, analog
    zu bekannten Zeichen-Applikationen, Teile einer Segmentierung markiert werden, die dann einer separaten Partition
    zugeordnet werden.
    Objekt-basiert arbeitet das Cutter-Werkzeug, mit dem Trennpfade direkt auf einem Segmentierungs-Mesh eingezeichnet
    und zur Partitionierung genutzt werden können. Mithilfe des objekt-basierten ThinCut-Werkzeugs können
    Schnitte an automatisch berechneten lokal dünnsten Verbundstellen einer Segmentierung vorgenommen werden.
    Eine erste Nutzerstudie zeigt, dass Anwender effizient und effektiv Segmentierungen mittels der Werkzeuge
    nachbearbeiten können. Gegenüber manuellen Nachbearbeitungen konnten stets, teils hohe, Zeitersparnisse unter Nutzung
    der Werkzeuge erzielt werden.

Different approaches to volume assessment of lymph nodes in computer tomography scans of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma in comparison with a real gold standard. 2012/09 ANZ Journal of Surgery , pp. 565-581   article
    Abstract: PURPOSE: Background Volume assessment in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is becoming a more and more clinical important parameter, especially in treatment planning and response control. Various authors showed a significant impact of tumour volume on treatment outcome and local control. Regarding the increasing impact of induction chemotherapy and primary chemoradiation on HNSCC, the need for an adequate measuring tool to judge treatment response becomes obvious. This study was performed to compare the momentary 'gold standard', the diameter-based approach, and tumour volume assessment in HNSCC with approaches based on segmentation algorithms in computer tomography (CT) scans.
    METHODS: CT scans were taken as part of the standardized staging investigations. Using these image data, 30 lymph nodes were defined and segmented. The segmentations were carried out with the newly developed software called 'NeckSegmenter'. After obtaining informed consent from the patient, neck dissection was performed and the excised lymph nodes underwent analysis of their true volume. The datasets were compared with each other and put in correlation with the segmented volumes.
    RESULTS: Pearson's correlation index showed a higher correlation of the segmented volumes (r = 0.7979) with the true volumes than the results generated via diameter-based equation (r = 0.7974). Furthermore, the diameter-generated volumes show clearly too high volumes at 130% (confidence interval: 107.7-156.7%). The volumes generated with the segmentation are at 89.18% (confidence interval: 73.52-108.16%).
    CONCLUSION: The data show a higher reliability for volumes estimated by the segmentation-based approach than the widely used diameter-based approach.

    Abstract: We report on the design and implementation of a number type called Real_algebraic. This number type allows us to compute the correct sign of arithmetic expressions involving the operations +, -, *, / , d-th root. The sign computation is always correct and, in this sense, not subject to rounding errors. We focus on modularity and use generic programming techniques to make key parts of the implementation easily exchangeable. Thus our design allows for easily performing experiments with different implementations or thereby to tailor the number type for specific tasks. For many problems in computational geometry instantiations of our number type Real_algebraic are a user-friendly alternative for implementing the exact geometric computation paradigm in order to abandon numerical robustness problems

    Vol. 6689 Information Processing in Computer-Assisted Interventions , pp. 1-12  
    inproceedings
    Abstract: The treatment of patients with head and neck cancers is a demanding medical field, due to the compact anatomy and complex functionality of the affected region. The planning process comprises issues regarding risk and applicability of intervention, extent of surgical removal, and the choice of appropriate access to the pathology. Required clinical information are obtained from different examinations, ranging from external visual and palpatory inspection, over preoperative panendoscopy and biopsy histology to radiological imaging.
    The surgeon needs to process all available information in mind and virtually compile a mental patient model of the target anatomy. 3D visualizations of tomographic data may improve perception of spatial relationships. However, discussions with clinical practicians reveal that parameterization of advanced visual effects tend to be cumbersome and resulting visualizations are often too complex and not dedicated to specific diagnostic or treatment planning questions. Moreover, they will add valuable alternative views, but cannot replace all the other diagnostic sources.
    We describe long-term experiences on developing and refining a software for ENT surgery planning and documentation. Regarding 3D visualizations, it turns out to be superior to generate sequences of rather simple 3D views directly supporting specific treatment questions, instead of presenting many anatomic structures simultaneously. Developing software for clinical practice thereby benefits from a thorough understanding of the target scenarios and the "visual questions" they raise. The second focus is on the seamless integration of the different diagnostic modalities, findings, and therapy decisions into a common electronic document. We report on the actual clinical use of the system and discuss how it fits into the surgical planning work flow.

    Abstract: Visual exploration of CT and MRI datasets in clinical practice is still dominated by slice-based viewing. Volume rendering is now widely available but seen primarily as a tool for a fast overview, and only rarely as a visualization to directly support clinical decisions. Research projects aiming at advanced 3D visualizations, such as smart visibility and illustrative renderings, usually fail to meet clinical demands, since the visualizations are not dedicated to specific diagnostic or treatment planning questions. Moreover, they are unfamiliar to users who need reliable
    and familiar visualizations as a basis for their crucial decisions. Discussions with clinical practicians reveal that parameterization of visual effects is too cumbersome and resulting visualizations are often too complex.
    We describe and discuss long-term experiences on developing, testing, and refining image analysis and visualization techniques for ENT surgery planning based on CT data. While visual quality and a faithful rendition of spatial relations indeed are essential, it turned out to be superior to generate sequences of rather simple 3D visualizations directly supporting specific treatment questions instead of presenting many anatomic structures simultaneously. We report on the actual clinical use of the system and discuss how it changed the surgical planning workflow.

    Abstract: Patientenindividuelle 3D-Modelle von Organen und Körperregionen tragen erheblich zur Dokumentation, Kommunikation und Patientenaufklärung bei. Aus Segmentierungen dreidimensionaler Datensätze (CT, MRT, etc.) gewonnen, kann jedoch nur die statische Pose während der Bildaufnahme abgebildet werden, was eine deutliche Einschränkung z.B. gegenüber den gebräuchlichen annotierbaren Schemazeichnungen mit ihren speziell vordefinierten Ansichten darstellt.
    In der vorliegenden Arbeit erweitern wir zuvor statische individuelle 3DModelle der Kopf-Hals-Region um die Fähigkeit zu anatomisch möglichen Bewegungen. Neben der Bewegung des Knochenapparates wird auch die gleichzeitig stattfindende Deformation der verbundenen Weichteile berücksichtigt, welche durch Feder-Masse-Modelle modelliert wird. Im Ergebnis zeigen wir einen Software-Prototypen, mit dem aus Segmentierungen automatisch ein dynamisches Patientenmodell der Kopf-Hals-Region erzeugt wird, dessen Strukturen (Knochen, Blutgefäße, Muskeln) in Echtzeit interaktiv anatomisch plausibel bewegt werden können.

    Abstract: In the cycle of Algorithm Engineering, the design phase opens after the modeling phase. We may assume that the algorithmic task to be performed is well understood, i. e., that the desired input-output relation is specified, and an agreement has been reached as to what makes a solution to the problem a good solution. These questions must be settled in cooperation with representatives from fields of application.

    Vol. 5 (6) , pp. 565-581  
    article
    Abstract: PURPOSE: Exact and reproducible knowledge regarding the position, size and type of the lymph nodes is often needed for tumor computer-aided diagnosis, treatment planning, and follow-up. An automatic segmentation method for CT data was developed that can identify and delineate normal as well as pathologically altered lymph nodes to satisfy this requirement.
    METHODS: A semi-automatic lymph node segmentation method was developed using a 3D Stable Mass Spring Model (SMSM), based on parallel simulation of the shape model on CT scan images. The models are started across the whole dataset at all potential lymph node positions, but will only adapt to the data where a lymph node is found. The node positions can be determined by an evaluation of the model's quality of fit.
    RESULTS: Systematically chosen lymph nodes in 5 CT datasets, including enlarged, necrotic, fuzzy-bounded and deformed lymph nodes were used to evaluate the segmentation algorithm performance. A test set of 29 lymph nodes taken from 4 typical lymph node regions were included. All lymph nodes were detected automatically, while an additional 31% false positive (n=9) candidates were detected. The average calculation time was 2 minutes per dataset. The segmentation accuracy was comparable to the inter-observer variance of human experts.
    CONCLUSIONS: Clinically relevant lymph nodes were detected within a few minutes and provided sufficient accuracy to demonstrate the feasibility of a new segmentation method. The test data were diverse and the robust results suggest potential applicability to many kinds of lymph node abnormalities, except for extremely degenerated lymph nodes.

    Rössling, I.; Cyrus, C.; Dornheim, L.; Boehm, A. & Preim, B. Fast and flexible distance measures for treatment planning 2010/08 International Journal for Computer Assisted Radiology and Surgery
    Vol. 5 (6) , pp. 633-646  
    article
    Abstract: PURPOSE: Distance measures are required for diagnoses, therapy decision and documentation. With today's high-resolution CT and MR imaging techniques, high- quality images have become possible. Yet, manual measurement can be tedious. We present a method for automatically determining different distance-based measures on segmented anatomic structures, like shortest distances, diameters, and wall thicknesses.
    METHODS: Our method is inspired from computational geometry and based on a surface mesh representation. The computation takes all primitives (points, edges, faces) into account and organizes them efficiently in a spatial tree structure. We followed the generic design paradigm in order to achieve maximum flexibility.
    RESULTS: The generic approach allows for a variety of intervention-relevant distance measures to be computed, using only a single type of data structure. For shortest distance, our approach in empirical tests turned out to be more efficient than previous methods from medical application literature. Besides the numerical value, also its defining geometric primitives are determined.
    CONCLUSIONS: The presented technique is both, fast and flexible. It can be used to interactively derive automatic distance measures for arbitrary mesh-based segmentations. Due to the geometrically exact measurements, it is possible to reliably estimate safety margins, assess possible infiltrations and other clinically relevant measures. To exploit this benefit, the method requires precise segmentations as input data.

    Abstract: Besides other main criterias like size, infiltration and anatomical district, the sideness of tumor and local metastases (i. e., malignant lymph nodes) is very crucial for head and neck tumor assessment. An automatic sideness determination may speed up tumor staging noticeably. Inspired by preliminary work of others we present a modified approach for the estimation of the midsagittal plane based on surface meshes. The suitability of the computed result being used in the course of TNM classification was tested in a case study, in terms of an according automatic determination of the sideness for segmented lymph nodes and tumors.

    Abstract: The evaluation of spatial relationships between anatomic structures is a major task in surgical planning. Surface models generated from medical image data (intensity, binary) are often used for visualization and 3D measurement of extents and distances between neighboring structures. In applications for intervention or radiation treatment planning, the surface models need to exhibit a natural look (referring to smoothness of the surface), but also to be accurate. Smoothing algorithms allow to reduce artifacts from mesh generation, but the result is always a tradeoff between smoothness and accuracy. Required features will be removed and distances between adjacent structures get changed. Thus, we present a modification to common mesh smoothing algorithms, which allows to generate smooth surfaces models while distances of neighboring structures are preserved. We compared our distance-aware approach to conventional uniform smoothing methods and evaluated the resulting surface models regarding smoothness and accuracy for their application within the context of surgical planning.

    Abstract: For the computer-aided diagnosis of tumor diseases knowledge about the position, size and type of the lymph nodes is needed to compute the tumor classification (TNM). For the computer-aided planning of subsequent surgeries like the Neck Dissection spatial information about the lymph nodes is also important. Thus, an efficient and exact segmentation method for lymph nodes in CT data is necessary, especially pathological altered lymph nodes play an important role here.
    Based on prior work, in this paper we present a noticeably enhanced model-based segmentation method for lymph nodes in CT data, which now can be used also for enlarged and mostly well separated necrotic lymph nodes. Furthermore, the kind of pathological variation can be determined automatically during segmentation, which is important for the automatic TNM classification.
    Our technique was tested on 21 lymph nodes from 5 CT datasets, among several enlarged and necrotic ones. The results lie in the range of the inter-personal variance of human experts and improve the results of former work again. Bigger problems were only noticed for pathological lymph nodes with vague boundaries due to infiltrated neighbor tissue.

    Abstract: Die präoperative Planung von Tumoroperationen des Kopf- und Halsbereiches kann durch die dreidimensionale Visualisierung und Quantifizierung der patienten-individuellen Anatomie und Pathologie an Anschaulichkeit und Zuverlässigkeit gewinnen. Ein Hindernis für den routinemäßigen Einsatz derartiger Planungswerkzeuge ist jedoch die erforderliche Segmentierung einer Reihe von Halsstrukturen, die derzeit noch in einem zeitaufwändigen manuellen Prozess erfolgen muss. Insbesondere die Segmentierung länglicher, bzw. komplex geformter anatomischer Strukturen mit uncharakteristischem Grauwertbereich nimmt den größten Zeitaufwand bei der Segmentierung in Anspruch. Dazu zählen im Halsbereich vor allem Knorpel- und Weichgewebestrukturen wie Muskeln (M. sternocleidomastoideus), Kehlkopf (Schild- und Ringknorpel), Blutgefäße (A. carotis, V. jugularis) und pathologisch vergrößerte Lymphknoten. Diese Arbeit stellt daher basierend auf [1] modellbasierte Techniken zur Segmentierung der Lymphknoten und Blutgefäße des Halses, sowie des Schildknorpels vor, welche für diese Strukturen eine weitgehende Automatisierung des Segmentierungsprozesses und damit signifikant reduzierte Interaktionszeiten ermöglichen.

    Abstract: Bei der Operationsplanung sind quantitative Aussagen zu räumlichen Verhältnissen essentiell für die präoperativen Risikoabklärung, Tumorausdehnung und Abstände zu Risikostrukturen entscheiden über die Art der Therapierbarkeit. Eine manuelle Erhebung solcher Maße ist aufwändig und fehlerbehaftet. Automatische Verfahren sind derzeit oft ungenau und geben keine klare Zusicherung zur Ergebnisgüte.
    Ausgehend von einer gegebenen Segmentierung in Form eines Dreiecksnetzes stellen wir ein Verfahren vor, das den kürzesten Abstand zwischen zwei anatomischen Strukturen bestimmt. Zur Berechnung werden dabei nicht nur die Punkte sondern alle Primitive herangezogen und in einer speziellen räumlichen Baumstruktur effizient organisiert. Das Verfahren erlaubt durch Austausch des Zielkriteriums auch andere relevante Maße wie den Durchmesser eines Objekts zu bestimmen.
    In empirischen Tests stellte sich unser Verfahren als das derzeit effizienteste heraus. Zudem können wir bzgl. der gegebenen Oberflächennetze ein geometrisch korrektes Ergebnis garantieren und erhalten auch die jeweils definierenden geometrischen Primitive.

Interaktive Visualisierung von Abständen und Ausdehnungen anatomischer Strukturen für die Interventionsplanung 2009/03 Bildverarbeitung für die Medizin (BVM) , pp. 381-385   inproceedings
    Abstract: Im Rahmen der Interventionsplanung muss der Chirurg therapierelevante Entscheidungen auf Basis räumlicher Relationen anatomischer Strukturen treffen. Interaktive 3D-Visualisierungen unterstützen diesen Prozess qualitativ. Quantitative Fragestellungen (Tumorausdehnung, Infiltrationstiefe, etc.) erfordern die Integration einer Bemaßung, deren Nutzen wesentlich von einer geeigneten Darstellung abhängt.
    In dieser Arbeit haben wir allgemeine Kriterien für die Eignung von Visualisierungen von Bemaßungen in interaktiven 3D-Szenen erarbeitet. Daran orientierend haben wir verschiedene Varianten der Darstellung von Abständen und Ausdehnungen anatomischer Strukturen betrachtet und ihr Erscheinungsbild hierzu zweckmäßig parametrisiert. Die Ausprägungen dieser Darstellungsparameter wurden in einer Studie auf ihre visuellen Wirkung hin an Chirurgen evaluiert.
    Es zeigte sich, dass die befragten Mediziner höchsten Wert auf Kohärenz und klare Zuordnung der Bemaßung setzten und überraschenderweise dafür sogar Abstriche in der direkten Lesbarkeit in Kauf nahmen.

    Gipp, B.; Beel, J. & Rössling, I. ePassport: The World's New Electronic Passport 2007/10   book
    Abstract: Two years after publishing the very first book about the world's new electronic passport 'ePassport', the authors Jöran Beel, Béla Gipp, and Ivo Rössling publish a completely overworked version of their book in English. The new book 'ePassport: The World's New Eletronic Passport' describes the basic details of the ePassport, gives a thorough overview of its technical specifications and then provides an in-depth analysis considering both, chances and risks of the new technology. Beside the explanation and analysis of eletronic passports in general the introduction of the ePassport in Germany is considered in particular. Former IBM Manager and biometric expert Henning Arendt recommends the book to "all those who as mature citizens of any country introducing the ePassport, feel a need for reading up on this topic, but specifically to all those persons responsible for the next stages of the ePassport".

    Bräsel, H.; Dornheim, L.; Kutz, S.; Mörig, M. & Rössling, I. LiSA - A Library Of Scheduling Algorithms 2003/06 (34/2003)   techreport
    Abstract: This technical report reflects the current results in the development of the software package "LiSA - A Library of Scheduling Algorithms". The scientific work of the research group was supported by the Ministry of Culture of the Land Sachsen-Anhalt in the projects "Latin Rectangles in Scheduling Theory" (October 1997 - September 1999) and "LiSA - A Library of Scheduling Algorithms" (November 1999 - October 2001). Within these projects four degree dissertations, three dissertations and one professorial dissertation were produced.
    LiSA is a software package for solving deterministic scheduling problems. In the version 2.3 LiSA is now prepared for cooperative development. The report gives an overview on the obtained results. Each newcomer will find neccessary information how to work with LiSA, each advancer can use this report as reference book.
    The LiSA-team, the goals of LiSA, the license and the technical background of the software package are described. A short introduction into the used classification and models is given. An overview on the available algorithms is contained, which can be also used outside of LiSA. An example illustrates how LiSA is working. The LiSA file structure is explained and it is described in detail, how new algorithms can be inserted. Finally, the components of the cooperative development are explained.
