New framework reveals calibration errors impact vertebral imaging accuracy

Researchers have developed a new framework to analyze how intrinsic calibration perturbations affect vertebral fluoroscopic projections and subsequent 2D--3D vertebral registration. Using CT-derived models and controlled imaging geometry, the study generated DRRs with both accurate and altered calibration parameters. The findings indicate that even minor calibration changes lead to noticeable shifts in vertebral projection geometry, contour, and landmark localization, with lateral projections being more sensitive than anterior-posterior views. These inconsistencies were also shown to reduce the accuracy of downstream 2D--3D registration, particularly in rotational alignment. AI
