Toward Robust Partial-Image Based Template Matching Techniques for MRI-Guided Interventions.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
We have developed an MRI-safe needle guidance toolkit for MRI-guided interventions intended to enable accurate positioning for needle-based procedures. The toolkit allows intuitive and accurate needle angulation and entry point positioning according to an MRI-based plan, using a flexible, patterned silicone 2D grid. The toolkit automatically matches the grid on MRI planning images with a physical silicon grid placed conformally on the patient's skin and provides the Interventional Radiologist an easy-to-use guide showing the needle entry point on the silicon grid as well as needle angle information. The radiologist can use this guide along with a 2-degree-of-freedom (rotation and angulation relative to the entry point) hand-held needle guide to place the needle into the anatomy of interest. The initial application that we are considering for this toolkit is arthrography, a diagnostic procedure to evaluate the joint space condition. However, this toolkit could be used for any needle-based and percutaneous procedures such as MRI-guided biopsy and facet joint injection. For matching the images, we adopt a transformation parameter estimation technique using the phase-only correlation method in the frequency domain. We investigated the robustness of this method against rotation, displacement, and Rician noise. The algorithm was able to successfully match all the dataset images. We also investigated the accuracy of identifying the entry point from registered template images as a prerequisite for a future targeting study. Application of the template matching algorithm to locate the needle entry points within the MRI dataset resulted in an average entry point location estimation accuracy of 0.12 ±0.2 mm. This promising result motivates a more detailed assessment of this algorithm in the future including a targeting study on a silicon phantom with embedded plastic targets to investigate the end-to-end accuracy of this automatic template matching algorithm in the interventional MRI room.
