Panoramic imaging assessment of different bladder phantoms – an evaluation study

Urology

Objective: To evaluate “panoramic image stitching” for cystoscopy, a novel technique to augment an urologist's field of view transoperatively in real-time during a cystoscopic “keyhole” procedure, 3-D bladder phantoms provide a suitable setting. Thus, the objective is the evaluation of different 3-D printed bladder phantoms with respect to their ability to be used for extended experiments of panoramic cystoscopy. Results: Panoramas of all phantom and endoscope combinations were computed. Using landmarks (south pole, north pole, equator) in the phantoms, maximum extension of the panoramas was assessed. The computed panoramas yield maximum extensions between 270o (0-degree cystoscope) and 330o (video cystoscope). Deformable phantoms yield larger panoramas than the rigid models.
