2008 IGT Project Week Neurosurgical Planning and Simulation

Team:Michel Audette, Andinet Enquobahrie

Goals:
*Path specification and descriptive anatomical modeling, based on surgical approach.
*Slicer-based methods for brain modeling for SOFA simulation.
*Meshing issues specific to the brain.

Approach:

Results:
IGT Project Week led to a meeting between myself (Michel), Andriy Fedorov and Nikos Chrisochoides of William and Mary, as well as Jean-Jacques Lemaire, on specifications for maximally coarse brain meshing, based on the assumption that the mesh should be separable where relevant to the surgery. Dr. Lemaire also emphasized two new requirements, 1) that the mesh should, at least at the finest level representation, provide information about fascicle orientation on the basis of DTI, and 2) that it should be used if possible towards dynamic planning by experts, and not only in interactive simulation for training novice surgeons.

A preliminary set of results will be produced by myself, Andriy Fedorov, and Nikos Chrisochoides' group at William and Mary, prior to the MICCAI deadline, and we plan that this mesh will be usable over the SOFA platform, which will soon feature GPU-based nonlinear Total Langrangian Explicit Dynamics, or TLED, whose release is planned for March 2009. Our short-term goal is to do a proof of concept with GPU-based linear FEs, currently available on SOFA, with a simple joystick, and use this as a springboard to obtain a descriptive haptic device as well as fund multigrid meshing. The kind of cutting envisioned by Dr. Lemaire will be implemented in the longer term, probably in conjunction with the availability of XFEM-based cutting on SOFA.

'''Dates: Monday, December 8th to Friday, December 12th'''

Location: Monday's activities will take place in Room BC-4-004 F at the Ledge Building, located at 1 Brigham Circle, Boston MA. Rest of the week will be at the SPL facility at 1249 Boylston Street, Boston MA ([http://www.spl.harvard.edu/pages/Directions#Getting_to_1249_Boylston_Street. Directions]) (See here for information about area [[Boston_Hotels|hotels]].)

IGT Project Week is a hands-on event that will involve various scientific, clinical, and engineering activities that are part of building image-guided therapy systems. Please note that is '''not''' a week long session of lectures and/or slide presentations. Instead, active researchers in the field will gather for a week to get actual work done on projects that they have identified ahead of time. A fair amount of effort will be put into phone calls between the hosts and the participants in the month leading upto the event to ensure that every participant belongs to a project that makes sense to be pursued in such a collaborative setting. Depending on the needs of the projects, the hosts, NCIGT at Brigham and Women's Hospital, will reserve time at appropriate research imaging and therapy equipment.

Before the event, individual phone calls/meetings will be held with confirmed participants to review the scope of the work that they will collaboratively pursue during this week. The event itself will start with short presentation by each project team to allows all participants to be acquainted with others who are doing similar work. In the rest of the week, most of the time will be spent doing hands-on programming, imaging, algorithm design, phantom or animal experiments or other validation in small project teams. Given that this is the first stand-alone IGT event of this kind, we expect to have about 5-10 teams of size 3-4 each. To facilitate this work, a conference room will be setup with several tables, with internet and power access, to allow teams to either work on their own laptops. Based on the project requirements, times will also be reserved on the research imaging equipment and therapy equipment at Brigham and Women's Hospital. On the last day of the event, a closing presentation session will be held in which each project team will present a summary of what they accomplished during the week.

This event is modeled after the [http://www.na-mic.org/Wiki/index.php/Project_Events NA-MIC Project Week] and its main goal is to foster a hand-on image-guided therapy systems community. The first event is being organized by NCIGT and several other NIH funded grants, and the outcome at this meeting will determine the format and frequency of future events. Unfortunately, no travel support is available from NCIGT for this event; it must be sponsored by their host institution/grant.

2008 IGT Project Week Nonrigid MR-ULS Registration Algorithms for Neurosurgery, Prostate MRgFUS and Brachytherapy

2008-12-05T16:18:58Z

Michel.audette: Consideration of surgical approaches in neurosurgical guidance

Back to [[2008_IGT_Project_Week#Projects]]

Team: Sandy Wells, Tina Kapur, Matt Toews, Nathan McDannold, Ben Schwartz, Steve Haker, Michel Audette, Nathan McDannold

Goals:
A round table discussion of issues relating to multimodal (MR-US) registration for image-guided therapy.

Agenda
#Self-introductions
#Definition of relevant research issues
#Visual Inspection of data sets brought by participants
#Conclusions Wrap-up

Non-exhaustive List of Issues for Discussion
#Goals of Non-Rigid MR-US Registration?
#*Use coarse, cost-effective inter-operative US imagery to update detailed preoperative MR imager, to enhance visualization during therapy.
#Requirements
#*Clinical requirements: registration precision?
#*Is MR-US registration necessary?
#State-of-the-art
#*Existing systems?
#*Real-time?
#*Accuracy?
#Image Registration
#*MR-US similarity measurement: mutual information, correlation ratio?
#*Transforms: rigid, deformable? Outlier detection?
#*3DMR-2DUS slices? 3DMR-3DUS? 3DMR-3DUS reconstuction?
#*Initialialization: 3D tracking of US probe?
#*Freehand US?
#*Robust?
#Updating Pre-operative Imagery
#*What information is required? Rigid/non-rigid deformation? Resolution?
#*Interpolation?
#Challenges
#*Poor US image quality, occlusion, resection, poor visibility of anatomy
#*Computational complexity
#Data
#*Phantom data?
#*Data sharing for benchmarking?
#Approach-based path planning
#*Neurosurgical guidance can/should integrate knowledge of surgical approach: frontal, occipital, pterional, transnasal...
#* Use knowledge of _specific_ critical tissues & likely eloquent areas in path planning
#* Curvilinear neurosurgical path planning.
