Abstract
Various embodiments of the present disclosure include a C-arm registration system employing a controller () for registering a C-arm () to an X-ray ripple marker () including a ripple pattern () radially extending from a fixed point () of the X-ray ripple marker (). In operation, the controller () identifies the ripple pattern () within an X-ray image generated from an X-ray projection by the C-arm () and illustrative of a portion or an entirety of the ripple pattern (), the identification of the ripple pattern () within the X-ray image is characteristic of a pose of the X-ray projection by the C-arm () relative to the X-ray rippler marker (). The controller () further analyzes the ripple pattern () within the X-ray image to derive one or more transformation parameters definitive of the pose of the X-ray projection by the C-arm () relative to the X-ray rippler marker (), and registers the C-arm () to the X-ray ripple marker () based on the transformation parameter(s).
