An automatic surface-based rigid registration system using a neural network representation is proposed. The system has been applied to register human bone structures for image-guided surgery. A multilayer perceptron neural network is used to construct a patient-specific surface model from pre-operative images. A surface representation function derived from the resultant neural network model is then employed for intra-operative registration. The optimal transformation parameters are obtained via an optimization process. This segmentation/registration system achieves sub-voxel accuracy comparable to that of conventional techniques, and is significantly faster. These advantages are demonstrated using image datasets of the calcaneus and vertebrae. (c) 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
