A three-dimensional multimodality medical image registration method using geometric invariant based on conformal geometric algebra (CGA) theory is put forward for responding to challenges resulting from many free degrees and computational burdens with 3D medical image registration problems. The mathematical model and calculation method of dual-vector projection invariant are established using the distribution characteristics of point cloud data and the point-to-plane distance-based measurement in CGA space. The translation operator and geometric rotation operator during registration operation are built in Clifford algebra (CA) space. The conformal geometrical algebra is used to realize the registration of 3D CT/MR-PD medical image data based on the dual vector geometric invariant. The registration experiment results indicate that the methodology proposed in this paper is of stronger commonality, less computation burden, shorter time consumption, and intuitive geometric meaning. Both subjective evaluation and objective indicators show that the methodology proposed here is of high registration accuracy and suitable for 3D medical image registration.

✓Three-dimensional rotational angiography is capable of exquisite visualization of cerebral blood vessels and their pathophysiology. Unfortunately, images obtained using this modality typically show a small region of interest without exterior landmarks to allow patient-to-image registration, precluding their use for neuronavigation purposes. The aim of this study was to find an alternative technique to enable 3D rotational angiography–guided vascular neurosurgery. Three-dimensional rotational angiograms were obtained in an angiographic suite with direct navigation capabilities. After image acquisition, a navigated pointer was used to touch fiducial positions on the patient's head. These positions were located outside the image volume but could nevertheless be transformed into image coordinates and stored in the navigation system. Prior to surgery, the data set was transferred to the navigation system in the operating room, and the same fiducial positions were touched again to complete the patient-to-image registration. This technique was tested on a Perspex phantom representing the cerebral vascular tree and on two patients with an intracranial aneurysm. In both the phantom and patients, the neuronavigation system provided 3D images representing the vascular tree in its correct orientation, that is, the orientation seen by the neurosurgeon through the microscope. In one patient, tissue shift was clearly observed without significant changes in the orientation of the structures. Results in this study demonstrate the feasibility of using 3D rotational angiography data sets for neuronavigation purposes. Determining the benefit of this type of navigation should be the subject of future studies.
