Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) The motion of internal organs has been strongly correlated with respiration as demonstrated by ultrasonography. By making use of this correlation, we have recently proposed an algorithm for estimating an instantaneous 2-D motion field called motion in the following. In this algorithm, the motion was modeled as a regression random variable with respect to the respiratory signal, which had the spatially independent unknown coefficients. However, the value of these coefficients should vary with a spatial smoothness, which enables a spatial constraint to be applied. Then, we propose an extended motion model, in which the regression coefficients are defined respectively as a random variable, i.e., Gaussian Markov random field (GMRF), which has an unknown scale factor called "hyper parameter", and construct a computationally stable estimation algorithm. Furthermore, we examine the tracking method in ROI using the results of motion fields.
