Reducing exposure to X-ray is important for both patients and doctors but alternatives like electromagnetic navigation require specific equipment and increase the cost of the clinical procedure. We propose a guiding system based on the extraction of airway centers from intra-operative videos. Such anatomical landmarks could bematched to the airway centerline extracted from a pre-planned CT to indicate the best path to the lesion. We present an extraction of lumen centersfrom intra-operative videos based on tracking of maximal stable regions of energy maps.", optnote="IAM;", optnote="exported from refbase (http://refbase.cvc.uab.es/show.php?record=2856), last updated on Tue, 25 Feb 2020 11:48:42 +0100", file=":http://refbase.cvc.uab.es/files/LSB2016.pdf:PDF" }
