NeuralBoneReg: An Instance-Specific Label-Free Point Cloud-Based Method for Multi-Modal Bone Surface Registration

arXiv CS.CV

ArXi:2511.14286v2 Announce Type: replace In computer- and robot-assisted orthopedic surgery (CAOS), patient-specific surgical plans derived from preoperative imaging define target locations and implant trajectories. During surgery, these plans must be accurately transferred, relying on precise cross-registration between preoperative and intraoperative data. However, substantial modality heterogeneity across imaging modalities makes this registration challenging and error-prone. Robust, automatic, and modality-agnostic bone surface registration is therefore clinically important.
