In current clinical practice, extraventricular drains (EVD) are inserted though the brain into a ventricle to release excess pressure in cerebral spinal fluid. They are placed manually, generally perpendicular to the skull at Kocher's Point. Inaccurate initial placement is common, and iatrogenic morbidity is evident in a few percent of cases. Published data from our team, prior collaborations, and a few other investigators, is limited and not entirely consistent, but there is general agreement that the procedure should be improved, but only if the new method is inexpensive and rapidly and easily used.

Dr. Vosburgh, with collaborators at MGH and BWH, has pursued a variety of approaches to EVD placement, such as the Smart Stylet, with the goal of replacing today’s freehand technique. Recently, working with Jason White, PhD and consulting with William Gormley, MD at BWH, various ultrasound-based Extra-Ventricular Drain guidance concepts have been explored. To reduce these inventions to practice, we need a more accurate understanding of the geometrical factors governing accurate EVD placement in a significant sample of likely patients.
|

Under IRB approval for a retrospective study, we propose to extract from the BWH archive pre-procedure CT data sets for patients who then received an EVD placement. Among the data we will derive from the image set are:
# How often will orthogonal insertion at Kocher’s Point penetrate the target in the lateral ventricle?
# What is the range of final placements, assuming strict orthogonality is achieved?
# How accurately must the location of Kocher’s point be determined?
# In what fraction of the patients are the ventricles distorted or displaced?
# What is the likely B-scan ultrasound signal profile through the Kocher’s Point burr hole, and through other commonly used probe insertion sites on the skull? If transcranial imaging is used, what are skull thicknesses and other anatomic factors relevant to ultrasound beam transmission?
# What is the range of depths from the dura to the nearest appropriate ventricular access point?

To answer these and related questions, we propose to use 3D Slicer and PLUS to measure and record these data for each CT image set. Our Project this week consists of getting this analysis software up and running on MacBooks. Kirby will supply some CT Data (such as used clinically) to work with. These initial tests will supply preliminary information to support the IRB application. Once data reduction is completed for the full data set, the data and results will be published and posted on line.

Raul San Jose got us started on simple thresholding and seed placement, and then handed us off to Beatriz Paniagua who showed us how their CMF Extension could be used for our geometric processing

Steve Piper was very helpful in two ways: Introducing us to Randy Gollub, and then giving a detailed demo of ventricle segmentation using GrowCut, which was enabled by a trick for reformatting our DICOM data so that they could be read. These tricks are really handy.

Randy got us launched with RPDR (for downloading DICOM data from the electronic medical record system), and then grabbed Kirby’s Mac and bookmarked the key pages we should understand and use.

==Project Description==
<div style="margin: 20px;">
<div style="width: 27%; float: left; padding-right: 3%;">
<h3>Objective</h3>
*A ventriculostomy is often performed to relieve symptoms of emergent hydrocephalus. This involves the placement of an external ventricular drain (EVD) into the cerebral ventricles to remove excess cerebrospinal fluid. Free-handed EVD cannulation results in high rates of misplacement (~50%), leading to an increased risk of iatrogenic complications. Extant technical approaches to improve ventriculostomy guidance are either too complex or inaccurate. We have investigated the possibility of a novel device to guide EVD placement using transcranial ultrasound. The device uses three specifically aligned transducers delivering pulse-echo 0.5-MHz ultrasound through the skull bone to detect and localize the targeted ventricle. It also incorporates a cannula guide that is registered with the ultrasound FOV to integrate guidance with surgery.
</div>
<div style="width: 27%; float: left; padding-right: 3%;">
<h3>Approach, Plan</h3>
*We wish to integrate and register the three A-mode US signals of the prototype device with MR or CT data during the investigation phase to assess the performance of the method. Prior work (Jason White, Alex Golby) in using 3DSlicer to combine pre-opertative images with intra-operative transcranial ultrasound for tracking brain shift will be built upon.

== '''Background''' ==

Project Week is a hands on activity -- programming using the open source [[NA-MIC-Kit|NA-MIC Kit]], algorithm design, and clinical application -- that has become one of the major events in the NA-MIC, NCIGT, and NAC calendars. It is held in the summer at MIT, typically the last week of June, and a shorter version is held in Salt Lake City in the winter, typically the second week of January.

Active preparation begins 6-8 weeks prior to the meeting, when a kick-off teleconference is hosted by the NA-MIC Engineering, Dissemination, and Leadership teams, the primary hosts of this event. Invitations to this call are sent to all NA-MIC members, past attendees of the event, as well as any parties who have expressed an interest in working with NA-MIC. The main goal of the kick-off call is to get an idea of which groups/projects will be active at the upcoming event, and to ensure that there is sufficient NA-MIC coverage for all. Subsequent teleconferences allow the hosts to finalize the project teams, consolidate any common components, and identify topics that should be discussed in breakout sessions. In the final days leading upto the meeting, all project teams are asked to fill in a template page on this wiki that describes the objectives and plan of their projects.

The event itself starts off with a short presentation by each project team, driven using their previously created description, and allows all participants to be acquainted with others who are doing similar work. In the rest of the week, about half the time is spent in breakout discussions on topics of common interest of subsets of the attendees, and the other half is spent in project teams, doing hands-on programming, algorithm design, or clinical application of NA-MIC kit tools. The hands-on activities are done in 10-20 small teams of size 3-5, each with a mix of experts in NA-MIC kit software, algorithms, and clinical. To facilitate this work, a large room is setup with several tables, with internet and power access, and each team gathers on a table with their individual laptops, connects to the internet to download their software and data, and is able to work on their projects. On the last day of the event, a closing presentation session is held in which each project team presents a summary of what they accomplished during the week.

A summary of all past NA-MIC Project Events is available [[Project_Events#Past|here]].

== '''Background''' ==

We are pleased to announce the 17th PROJECT WEEK of hands-on research and development activity for applications in Neuroscience, Image-Guided Therapy and several additional areas of biomedical research that enable personalized medicine. Participants will engage in open source programming using the [[NA-MIC-Kit|NA-MIC Kit]], algorithm design, medical imaging sequence development, tracking experiments, and clinical application. The main goal of this event is to move forward the translational research deliverables of the sponsoring centers and their collaborators. Active and potential collaborators are encouraged and welcome to attend this event. This event will be set up to maximize informal interaction between participants. If you would like to learn more about this event, please [http://public.kitware.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/na-mic-project-week click here to join our mailing list].

Active preparation begins on Thursday, April 25th at 3pm ET, with a kick-off teleconference. Invitations to this call will be sent to members of the sponsoring communities, their collaborators, past attendees of the event, as well as any parties who have expressed an interest in working with these centers. The main goal of the kick-off call is to get an idea of which groups/projects will be active at the upcoming event, and to ensure that there is sufficient coverage for all. Subsequent teleconferences will allow for more focused discussions on individual projects and allow the hosts to finalize the project teams, consolidate any common components, and identify topics that should be discussed in breakout sessions. In the final days leading upto the meeting, all project teams will be asked to fill in a template page on this wiki that describes the objectives and plan of their projects.

The event itself will start off with a short presentation by each project team, driven using their previously created description, and will help all participants get acquainted with others who are doing similar work. In the rest of the week, about half the time will be spent in breakout discussions on topics of common interest of subsets of the attendees, and the other half will be spent in project teams, doing hands-on project work. The hands-on activities will be done in 40-50 small teams of size 2-4, each with a mix of multi-disciplinary expertise. To facilitate this work, a large room at MIT will be setup with several tables, with internet and power access, and each computer software development based team will gather on a table with their individual laptops, connect to the internet to download their software and data, and be able to work on their projects. Teams working on projects that require the use of medical devices will proceed to Brigham and Women's Hospital and carry out their experiments there. 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 part of the translational research efforts of [http://www.na-mic.org NA-MIC], [http://www.ncigt.org NCIGT], [http://nac.spl.harvard.edu/ NAC], [http://catalyst.harvard.edu/home.html Harvard Catalyst], [http://www.cimit.org CIMIT], and OCAIRO. It is an expansion of the NA-MIC Summer Project Week that has been held annually since 2005. It will be held every summer at MIT and Brigham and Womens Hospital in Boston, typically during the last full week of June, and in Salt Lake City in the winter, typically during the second week of January.

A summary of all past NA-MIC Project Events is available [[Project_Events#Past|here]].

== '''Preparation''' ==

# Please make sure that you are on the http://public.kitware.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/na-mic-project-week mailing list
# The NA-MIC engineering team will be discussing projects in a their [http://wiki.na-mic.org/Wiki/index.php/Engineering:TCON_2013 weekly teleconferences]. Participants from the above mailing list will be invited to join to discuss their projects, so please make sure you are on it!
# By 3pm ET on Thursday May 8, all participants to add a one line title of their project to #Projects
# By 3pm ET on Thursday June 6, all project leads to complete [[Project_Week/Template|Complete a templated wiki page for your project]]. Please do not edit the template page itself, but create a new page for your project and cut-and-paste the text from this template page. If you have questions, please send an email to tkapur at bwh.harvard.edu.
# By 3pm on June 13: Create a directory for each project on the [[Engineering:SandBox|NAMIC Sandbox]] (Matt)
## Commit on each sandbox directory the code examples/snippets that represent our first guesses of appropriate methods. (Luis and Steve will help with this, as needed)
## Gather test images in any of the Data sharing resources we have (e.g. XNAT/MIDAS). These ones don't have to be many. At least three different cases, so we can get an idea of the modality-specific characteristics of these images. Put the IDs of these data sets on the wiki page. (the participants must do this.)
## Where possible, setup nightly tests on a separate Dashboard, where we will run the methods that we are experimenting with. The test should post result images and computation time. (Matt)
# Please note that by the time we get to the project event, we should be trying to close off a project milestone rather than starting to work on one...
# People doing Slicer related projects should come to project week with slicer built on your laptop.
## See the [http://www.slicer.org/slicerWiki/index.php/Documentation/4.0/Developers Developer Section of slicer.org] for information.
## Projects to develop extension modules should be built against the latest Slicer4 trunk.

== '''Background''' ==

We are pleased to announce the 17th PROJECT WEEK of hands-on research and development activity for applications in Neuroscience, Image-Guided Therapy and several additional areas of biomedical research that enable personalized medicine. Participants will engage in open source programming using the [[NA-MIC-Kit|NA-MIC Kit]], algorithm design, medical imaging sequence development, tracking experiments, and clinical application. The main goal of this event is to move forward the translational research deliverables of the sponsoring centers and their collaborators. Active and potential collaborators are encouraged and welcome to attend this event. This event will be set up to maximize informal interaction between participants. If you would like to learn more about this event, please [http://public.kitware.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/na-mic-project-week click here to join our mailing list].

Active preparation begins on Thursday, April 25th at 3pm ET, with a kick-off teleconference. Invitations to this call will be sent to members of the sponsoring communities, their collaborators, past attendees of the event, as well as any parties who have expressed an interest in working with these centers. The main goal of the kick-off call is to get an idea of which groups/projects will be active at the upcoming event, and to ensure that there is sufficient coverage for all. Subsequent teleconferences will allow for more focused discussions on individual projects and allow the hosts to finalize the project teams, consolidate any common components, and identify topics that should be discussed in breakout sessions. In the final days leading upto the meeting, all project teams will be asked to fill in a template page on this wiki that describes the objectives and plan of their projects.

The event itself will start off with a short presentation by each project team, driven using their previously created description, and will help all participants get acquainted with others who are doing similar work. In the rest of the week, about half the time will be spent in breakout discussions on topics of common interest of subsets of the attendees, and the other half will be spent in project teams, doing hands-on project work. The hands-on activities will be done in 40-50 small teams of size 2-4, each with a mix of multi-disciplinary expertise. To facilitate this work, a large room at MIT will be setup with several tables, with internet and power access, and each computer software development based team will gather on a table with their individual laptops, connect to the internet to download their software and data, and be able to work on their projects. Teams working on projects that require the use of medical devices will proceed to Brigham and Women's Hospital and carry out their experiments there. 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 part of the translational research efforts of [http://www.na-mic.org NA-MIC], [http://www.ncigt.org NCIGT], [http://nac.spl.harvard.edu/ NAC], [http://catalyst.harvard.edu/home.html Harvard Catalyst], [http://www.cimit.org CIMIT], and OCAIRO. It is an expansion of the NA-MIC Summer Project Week that has been held annually since 2005. It will be held every summer at MIT and Brigham and Womens Hospital in Boston, typically during the last full week of June, and in Salt Lake City in the winter, typically during the second week of January.

A summary of all past NA-MIC Project Events is available [[Project_Events#Past|here]].

== '''Preparation''' ==

# Please make sure that you are on the http://public.kitware.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/na-mic-project-week mailing list
# The NA-MIC engineering team will be discussing projects in a their [http://wiki.na-mic.org/Wiki/index.php/Engineering:TCON_2013 weekly teleconferences]. Participants from the above mailing list will be invited to join to discuss their projects, so please make sure you are on it!
# By 3pm ET on Thursday May 8, all participants to add a one line title of their project to #Projects
# By 3pm ET on Thursday June 6, all project leads to complete [[Project_Week/Template|Complete a templated wiki page for your project]]. Please do not edit the template page itself, but create a new page for your project and cut-and-paste the text from this template page. If you have questions, please send an email to tkapur at bwh.harvard.edu.
# By 3pm on June 13: Create a directory for each project on the [[Engineering:SandBox|NAMIC Sandbox]] (Matt)
## Commit on each sandbox directory the code examples/snippets that represent our first guesses of appropriate methods. (Luis and Steve will help with this, as needed)
## Gather test images in any of the Data sharing resources we have (e.g. XNAT/MIDAS). These ones don't have to be many. At least three different cases, so we can get an idea of the modality-specific characteristics of these images. Put the IDs of these data sets on the wiki page. (the participants must do this.)
## Where possible, setup nightly tests on a separate Dashboard, where we will run the methods that we are experimenting with. The test should post result images and computation time. (Matt)
# Please note that by the time we get to the project event, we should be trying to close off a project milestone rather than starting to work on one...
# People doing Slicer related projects should come to project week with slicer built on your laptop.
## See the [http://www.slicer.org/slicerWiki/index.php/Documentation/4.0/Developers Developer Section of slicer.org] for information.
## Projects to develop extension modules should be built against the latest Slicer4 trunk.

<div style="margin: 20px;">
<div style="width: 27%; float: left; padding-right: 3%;">

<h3>Objective</h3>
Stroke, in the form of an intracranial hemorrhage, is one of the leading causes of acute neurological deficits. The current gold standard for imaging and diagnosing intracranial hemorrhage is with x-ray computed tomography (CT), a modality that requires the use of ionizing radiation and large equipment. As an alternative, we are developing a portable ultrasound device for detecting intracranial hemorrhage.

</div>

<div style="width: 27%; float: left; padding-right: 3%;">

<h3>Approach, Plan</h3>
A prototype device has been designed, constructed, and tested for initial clinical tests. A validation study to include concomitant US and CT scans of patients suspected of intracranial hemorrhage will be performed. During NAMIC Project Week, a research platform will be designed to integrate and register A-mode US data with CT scans via IGTLink.

== '''Background''' ==

We are pleased to announce the 17th PROJECT WEEK of hands-on research and development activity for applications in Neuroscience, Image-Guided Therapy and several additional areas of biomedical research that enable personalized medicine. Participants will engage in open source programming using the [[NA-MIC-Kit|NA-MIC Kit]], algorithm design, medical imaging sequence development, tracking experiments, and clinical application. The main goal of this event is to move forward the translational research deliverables of the sponsoring centers and their collaborators. Active and potential collaborators are encouraged and welcome to attend this event. This event will be set up to maximize informal interaction between participants. If you would like to learn more about this event, please [http://public.kitware.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/na-mic-project-week click here to join our mailing list].

Active preparation begins on Thursday, April 25th at 3pm ET, with a kick-off teleconference. Invitations to this call will be sent to members of the sponsoring communities, their collaborators, past attendees of the event, as well as any parties who have expressed an interest in working with these centers. The main goal of the kick-off call is to get an idea of which groups/projects will be active at the upcoming event, and to ensure that there is sufficient coverage for all. Subsequent teleconferences will allow for more focused discussions on individual projects and allow the hosts to finalize the project teams, consolidate any common components, and identify topics that should be discussed in breakout sessions. In the final days leading upto the meeting, all project teams will be asked to fill in a template page on this wiki that describes the objectives and plan of their projects.

The event itself will start off with a short presentation by each project team, driven using their previously created description, and will help all participants get acquainted with others who are doing similar work. In the rest of the week, about half the time will be spent in breakout discussions on topics of common interest of subsets of the attendees, and the other half will be spent in project teams, doing hands-on project work. The hands-on activities will be done in 40-50 small teams of size 2-4, each with a mix of multi-disciplinary expertise. To facilitate this work, a large room at MIT will be setup with several tables, with internet and power access, and each computer software development based team will gather on a table with their individual laptops, connect to the internet to download their software and data, and be able to work on their projects. Teams working on projects that require the use of medical devices will proceed to Brigham and Women's Hospital and carry out their experiments there. 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 part of the translational research efforts of [http://www.na-mic.org NA-MIC], [http://www.ncigt.org NCIGT], [http://nac.spl.harvard.edu/ NAC], [http://catalyst.harvard.edu/home.html Harvard Catalyst], [http://www.cimit.org CIMIT], and OCAIRO. It is an expansion of the NA-MIC Summer Project Week that has been held annually since 2005. It will be held every summer at MIT and Brigham and Womens Hospital in Boston, typically during the last full week of June, and in Salt Lake City in the winter, typically during the second week of January.

A summary of all past NA-MIC Project Events is available [[Project_Events#Past|here]].

== '''Preparation''' ==

# Please make sure that you are on the http://public.kitware.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/na-mic-project-week mailing list
# The NA-MIC engineering team will be discussing projects in a their [http://wiki.na-mic.org/Wiki/index.php/Engineering:TCON_2013 weekly teleconferences]. Participants from the above mailing list will be invited to join to discuss their projects, so please make sure you are on it!
# By 3pm ET on Thursday May 8, all participants to add a one line title of their project to #Projects
# By 3pm ET on Thursday June 6, all project leads to complete [[Project_Week/Template|Complete a templated wiki page for your project]]. Please do not edit the template page itself, but create a new page for your project and cut-and-paste the text from this template page. If you have questions, please send an email to tkapur at bwh.harvard.edu.
# By 3pm on June 13: Create a directory for each project on the [[Engineering:SandBox|NAMIC Sandbox]] (Matt)
## Commit on each sandbox directory the code examples/snippets that represent our first guesses of appropriate methods. (Luis and Steve will help with this, as needed)
## Gather test images in any of the Data sharing resources we have (e.g. XNAT/MIDAS). These ones don't have to be many. At least three different cases, so we can get an idea of the modality-specific characteristics of these images. Put the IDs of these data sets on the wiki page. (the participants must do this.)
## Where possible, setup nightly tests on a separate Dashboard, where we will run the methods that we are experimenting with. The test should post result images and computation time. (Matt)
# Please note that by the time we get to the project event, we should be trying to close off a project milestone rather than starting to work on one...
# People doing Slicer related projects should come to project week with slicer built on your laptop.
## See the [http://www.slicer.org/slicerWiki/index.php/Documentation/4.0/Developers Developer Section of slicer.org] for information.
## Projects to develop extension modules should be built against the latest Slicer4 trunk.

Subsequent teleconferences will allow for more focused discussions on individual projects and allow the hosts to finalize the project teams, consolidate any common components, and identify topics that should be discussed in breakout sessions. In the final days leading upto the meeting, all project teams will be asked to fill in a template page on this wiki that describes the objectives and plan of their projects.

The event itself will start off with a short presentation by each project team, driven using their previously created description, and will help all participants get acquainted with others who are doing similar work. In the rest of the week, about half the time will be spent in breakout discussions on topics of common interest of subsets of the attendees, and the other half will be spent in project teams, doing hands-on project work. The hands-on activities will be done in 40-50 small teams of size 2-4, each with a mix of multi-disciplinary expertise. To facilitate this work, a large room at MIT will be setup with several tables, with internet and power access, and each computer software development based team will gather on a table with their individual laptops, connect to the internet to download their software and data, and be able to work on their projects. Teams working on projects that require the use of medical devices will proceed to Brigham and Women's Hospital and carry out their experiments there. 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 part of the translational research efforts of [http://www.na-mic.org NA-MIC], [http://www.ncigt.org NCIGT], [http://nac.spl.harvard.edu/ NAC], [http://catalyst.harvard.edu/home.html Harvard Catalyst], [http://www.cimit.org CIMIT], and OCAIRO. It is an expansion of the NA-MIC Summer Project Week that has been held annually since 2005. It will be held every summer at MIT and Brigham and Womens Hospital in Boston, typically during the last full week of June, and in Salt Lake City in the winter, typically during the second week of January.

A summary of all past NA-MIC Project Events is available [[Project_Events#Past|here]].

== '''Preparation''' ==

# Please make sure that you are on the http://public.kitware.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/na-mic-project-week mailing list
# The NA-MIC engineering team will be discussing projects in a their [http://wiki.na-mic.org/Wiki/index.php/Engineering:TCON_2013 weekly teleconferences]. Participants from the above mailing list will be invited to join to discuss their projects, so please make sure you are on it!
# By 3pm ET on Thursday May 8, all participants to add a one line title of their project to #Projects
# By 3pm ET on Thursday June 6, all project leads to complete [[Project_Week/Template|Complete a templated wiki page for your project]]. Please do not edit the template page itself, but create a new page for your project and cut-and-paste the text from this template page. If you have questions, please send an email to tkapur at bwh.harvard.edu.
# By 3pm on June 13: Create a directory for each project on the [[Engineering:SandBox|NAMIC Sandbox]] (Matt)
## Commit on each sandbox directory the code examples/snippets that represent our first guesses of appropriate methods. (Luis and Steve will help with this, as needed)
## Gather test images in any of the Data sharing resources we have (e.g. XNAT/MIDAS). These ones don't have to be many. At least three different cases, so we can get an idea of the modality-specific characteristics of these images. Put the IDs of these data sets on the wiki page. (the participants must do this.)
## Where possible, setup nightly tests on a separate Dashboard, where we will run the methods that we are experimenting with. The test should post result images and computation time. (Matt)
# Please note that by the time we get to the project event, we should be trying to close off a project milestone rather than starting to work on one...
# People doing Slicer related projects should come to project week with slicer built on your laptop.
## See the [http://www.slicer.org/slicerWiki/index.php/Documentation/4.0/Developers Developer Section of slicer.org] for information.
## Projects to develop extension modules should be built against the latest Slicer4 trunk.

<h3>Objective</h3>
Stroke, in the form of an intracranial hemorrhage, is one of the leading causes of acute neurological deficits. The current gold standard for imaging and diagnosing intracranial hemorrhage is with x-ray computed tomography (CT), a modality that requires the use of ionizing radiation and large equipment. As an alternative, we are developing a portable ultrasound device for detecting intracranial hemorrhage.

</div>

<div style="width: 27%; float: left; padding-right: 3%;">

<h3>Approach, Plan</h3>
A prototype device has been designed, constructed, and tested for initial clinical tests. A validation study to include concomitant US and CT scans of patients suspected of intracranial hemorrhage will be performed. During NAMIC Project Week, a research platform will be designed to integrate and register A-mode US data with CT scans via IGTLink.

We are pleased to announce the 17th PROJECT WEEK of hands-on research and development activity for applications in Neuroscience, Image-Guided Therapy and several additional areas of biomedical research that enable personalized medicine. Participants will engage in open source programming using the [[NA-MIC-Kit|NA-MIC Kit]], algorithm design, medical imaging sequence development, tracking experiments, and clinical application. The main goal of this event is to move forward the translational research deliverables of the sponsoring centers and their collaborators. Active and potential collaborators are encouraged and welcome to attend this event. This event will be set up to maximize informal interaction between participants. If you would like to learn more about this event, please [http://public.kitware.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/na-mic-project-week click here to join our mailing list].

Active preparation begins on Thursday, April 25th at 3pm ET, with a kick-off teleconference. Invitations to this call will be sent to members of the sponsoring communities, their collaborators, past attendees of the event, as well as any parties who have expressed an interest in working with these centers. The main goal of the kick-off call is to get an idea of which groups/projects will be active at the upcoming event, and to ensure that there is sufficient coverage for all. Subsequent teleconferences will allow for more focused discussions on individual projects and allow the hosts to finalize the project teams, consolidate any common components, and identify topics that should be discussed in breakout sessions. In the final days leading upto the meeting, all project teams will be asked to fill in a template page on this wiki that describes the objectives and plan of their projects.

The event itself will start off with a short presentation by each project team, driven using their previously created description, and will help all participants get acquainted with others who are doing similar work. In the rest of the week, about half the time will be spent in breakout discussions on topics of common interest of subsets of the attendees, and the other half will be spent in project teams, doing hands-on project work. The hands-on activities will be done in 40-50 small teams of size 2-4, each with a mix of multi-disciplinary expertise. To facilitate this work, a large room at MIT will be setup with several tables, with internet and power access, and each computer software development based team will gather on a table with their individual laptops, connect to the internet to download their software and data, and be able to work on their projects. Teams working on projects that require the use of medical devices will proceed to Brigham and Women's Hospital and carry out their experiments there. 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 part of the translational research efforts of [http://www.na-mic.org NA-MIC], [http://www.ncigt.org NCIGT], [http://nac.spl.harvard.edu/ NAC], [http://catalyst.harvard.edu/home.html Harvard Catalyst], [http://www.cimit.org CIMIT], and OCAIRO. It is an expansion of the NA-MIC Summer Project Week that has been held annually since 2005. It will be held every summer at MIT and Brigham and Womens Hospital in Boston, typically during the last full week of June, and in Salt Lake City in the winter, typically during the second week of January.

A summary of all past NA-MIC Project Events is available [[Project_Events#Past|here]].

== '''Preparation''' ==

# Please make sure that you are on the http://public.kitware.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/na-mic-project-week mailing list
# The NA-MIC engineering team will be discussing projects in a their [http://wiki.na-mic.org/Wiki/index.php/Engineering:TCON_2013 weekly teleconferences]. Participants from the above mailing list will be invited to join to discuss their projects, so please make sure you are on it!
# By 3pm ET on Thursday May 8, all participants to add a one line title of their project to #Projects
# By 3pm ET on Thursday June 6, all project leads to complete [[Project_Week/Template|Complete a templated wiki page for your project]]. Please do not edit the template page itself, but create a new page for your project and cut-and-paste the text from this template page. If you have questions, please send an email to tkapur at bwh.harvard.edu.
# By 3pm on June 13: Create a directory for each project on the [[Engineering:SandBox|NAMIC Sandbox]] (Matt)
## Commit on each sandbox directory the code examples/snippets that represent our first guesses of appropriate methods. (Luis and Steve will help with this, as needed)
## Gather test images in any of the Data sharing resources we have (e.g. XNAT/MIDAS). These ones don't have to be many. At least three different cases, so we can get an idea of the modality-specific characteristics of these images. Put the IDs of these data sets on the wiki page. (the participants must do this.)
## Where possible, setup nightly tests on a separate Dashboard, where we will run the methods that we are experimenting with. The test should post result images and computation time. (Matt)
# Please note that by the time we get to the project event, we should be trying to close off a project milestone rather than starting to work on one...
# People doing Slicer related projects should come to project week with slicer built on your laptop.
## See the [http://www.slicer.org/slicerWiki/index.php/Documentation/4.0/Developers Developer Section of slicer.org] for information.
## Projects to develop extension modules should be built against the latest Slicer4 trunk.

<div style="margin: 20px;">
<div style="width: 27%; float: left; padding-right: 3%;">

<h3>Objective</h3>
The current state-of-the-art for transcranial focused ultrasound surgery (TCFUS) requires the use of a pre-procedurally obtained CT scan of the skull. We have proposed a method for replacing this requirement by using a specialized ultrasound-based technique to obtain parameters to be used for aberration correction. The analysis of this method could benefit from some potential capabilities of 3DSlicer.

</div>

<div style="width: 27%; float: left; padding-right: 3%;">

<h3>Approach, Plan</h3>

Our approach will begin by exploring the segmentation of skull bone from existing CT scans.

Active preparation begins on Thursday, April 26th at 3pm ET, with a kick-off teleconference. Invitations to this call will be sent to members of the sponsoring communities, their collaborators, past attendees of the event, as well as any parties who have expressed an interest in working with these centers. The main goal of the kick-off call is to get an idea of which groups/projects will be active at the upcoming event, and to ensure that there is sufficient coverage for all. Subsequent teleconferences will allow for more focused discussions on individual projects and allow the hosts to finalize the project teams, consolidate any common components, and identify topics that should be discussed in breakout sessions. In the final days leading upto the meeting, all project teams will be asked to fill in a template page on this wiki that describes the objectives and plan of their projects.

The event itself will start off with a short presentation by each project team, driven using their previously created description, and will help all participants get acquainted with others who are doing similar work. In the rest of the week, about half the time will be spent in breakout discussions on topics of common interest of subsets of the attendees, and the other half will be spent in project teams, doing hands-on project work. The hands-on activities will be done in 40-50 small teams of size 2-4, each with a mix of multi-disciplinary expertise. To facilitate this work, a large room at MIT will be setup with several tables, with internet and power access, and each computer software development based team will gather on a table with their individual laptops, connect to the internet to download their software and data, and be able to work on their projects. Teams working on projects that require the use of medical devices will proceed to Brigham and Women's Hospital and carry out their experiments there. 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 part of the translational research efforts of [http://www.na-mic.org NA-MIC], [http://www.ncigt.org NCIGT], [http://nac.spl.harvard.edu/ NAC], [http://catalyst.harvard.edu/home.html Harvard Catalyst], [http://www.cimit.org CIMIT], and OCAIRO. It is an expansion of the NA-MIC Summer Project Week that has been held annually since 2005. It will be held every summer at MIT and Brigham and Womens Hospital in Boston, typically during the last full week of June, and in Salt Lake City in the winter, typically during the second week of January.

A summary of all past NA-MIC Project Events is available [[Project_Events#Past|here]].

== Preparation ==
# Please make sure that you are on the http://public.kitware.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/na-mic-project-week mailing list
# The NA-MIC engineering team will be discussing infrastructure projects in a kickoff TCON on April 26, 3pm ET. In the weeks following, new and old participants from the above mailing list will be invited to join to discuss their projects, so please make sure you are on it!
# By 3pm ET on Thursday May 10, all participants to add a one line title of their project to #Projects
# By 3pm ET on Thursday June 7, all project leads to complete [[Project_Week/Template|Complete a templated wiki page for your project]]. Please do not edit the template page itself, but create a new page for your project and cut-and-paste the text from this template page. If you have questions, please send an email to tkapur at bwh.harvard.edu.
# By 3pm on June 14: Create a directory for each project on the [[Engineering:SandBox|NAMIC Sandbox]] (Matt)
## Commit on each sandbox directory the code examples/snippets that represent our first guesses of appropriate methods. (Luis and Steve will help with this, as needed)
## Gather test images in any of the Data sharing resources we have (e.g. XNAT/MIDAS). These ones don't have to be many. At least three different cases, so we can get an idea of the modality-specific characteristics of these images. Put the IDs of these data sets on the wiki page. (the participants must do this.)
## Where possible, setup nightly tests on a separate Dashboard, where we will run the methods that we are experimenting with. The test should post result images and computation time. (Matt)
# Please note that by the time we get to the project event, we should be trying to close off a project milestone rather than starting to work on one...
# People doing Slicer related projects should come to project week with slicer built on your laptop.
## See the [http://www.slicer.org/slicerWiki/index.php/Documentation/4.0/Developers Developer Section of slicer.org] for information.
## Projects to develop extension modules should be built against the latest Slicer4 trunk.

==Background==

We are pleased to announce the 15th PROJECT WEEK of hands-on research and development activity for applications in Neuroscience, Image-Guided Therapy and several additional areas of biomedical research that enable personalized medicine. Participants will engage in open source programming using the [[NA-MIC-Kit|NA-MIC Kit]], algorithm design, medical imaging sequence development, tracking experiments, and clinical application. The main goal of this event is to move forward the translational research deliverables of the sponsoring centers and their collaborators. Active and potential collaborators are encouraged and welcome to attend this event. This event will be set up to maximize informal interaction between participants. If you would like to learn more about this event, please [http://public.kitware.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/na-mic-project-week click here to join our mailing list].

Active preparation begins on Thursday, April 26th at 3pm ET, with a kick-off teleconference. Invitations to this call will be sent to members of the sponsoring communities, their collaborators, past attendees of the event, as well as any parties who have expressed an interest in working with these centers. The main goal of the kick-off call is to get an idea of which groups/projects will be active at the upcoming event, and to ensure that there is sufficient coverage for all. Subsequent teleconferences will allow for more focused discussions on individual projects and allow the hosts to finalize the project teams, consolidate any common components, and identify topics that should be discussed in breakout sessions. In the final days leading upto the meeting, all project teams will be asked to fill in a template page on this wiki that describes the objectives and plan of their projects.

The event itself will start off with a short presentation by each project team, driven using their previously created description, and will help all participants get acquainted with others who are doing similar work. In the rest of the week, about half the time will be spent in breakout discussions on topics of common interest of subsets of the attendees, and the other half will be spent in project teams, doing hands-on project work. The hands-on activities will be done in 40-50 small teams of size 2-4, each with a mix of multi-disciplinary expertise. To facilitate this work, a large room at MIT will be setup with several tables, with internet and power access, and each computer software development based team will gather on a table with their individual laptops, connect to the internet to download their software and data, and be able to work on their projects. Teams working on projects that require the use of medical devices will proceed to Brigham and Women's Hospital and carry out their experiments there. 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 part of the translational research efforts of [http://www.na-mic.org NA-MIC], [http://www.ncigt.org NCIGT], [http://nac.spl.harvard.edu/ NAC], [http://catalyst.harvard.edu/home.html Harvard Catalyst], [http://www.cimit.org CIMIT], and OCAIRO. It is an expansion of the NA-MIC Summer Project Week that has been held annually since 2005. It will be held every summer at MIT and Brigham and Womens Hospital in Boston, typically during the last full week of June, and in Salt Lake City in the winter, typically during the second week of January.

== Preparation ==
# Please make sure that you are on the http://public.kitware.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/na-mic-project-week mailing list
# The NA-MIC engineering team will be discussing infrastructure projects in a kickoff TCON on April 26, 3pm ET. In the weeks following, new and old participants from the above mailing list will be invited to join to discuss their projects, so please make sure you are on it!
# By 3pm ET on Thursday May 10, all participants to add a one line title of their project to #Projects
# By 3pm ET on Thursday June 7, all project leads to complete [[Project_Week/Template|Complete a templated wiki page for your project]]. Please do not edit the template page itself, but create a new page for your project and cut-and-paste the text from this template page. If you have questions, please send an email to tkapur at bwh.harvard.edu.
# By 3pm on June 14: Create a directory for each project on the [[Engineering:SandBox|NAMIC Sandbox]] (Matt)
## Commit on each sandbox directory the code examples/snippets that represent our first guesses of appropriate methods. (Luis and Steve will help with this, as needed)
## Gather test images in any of the Data sharing resources we have (e.g. XNAT/MIDAS). These ones don't have to be many. At least three different cases, so we can get an idea of the modality-specific characteristics of these images. Put the IDs of these data sets on the wiki page. (the participants must do this.)
## Where possible, setup nightly tests on a separate Dashboard, where we will run the methods that we are experimenting with. The test should post result images and computation time. (Matt)
# Please note that by the time we get to the project event, we should be trying to close off a project milestone rather than starting to work on one...
# People doing Slicer related projects should come to project week with slicer built on your laptop.
## See the [http://www.slicer.org/slicerWiki/index.php/Documentation/4.0/Developers Developer Section of slicer.org] for information.
## Projects to develop extension modules should be built against the latest Slicer4 trunk.

==Background==

We are pleased to announce the 15th PROJECT WEEK of hands-on research and development activity for applications in Neuroscience, Image-Guided Therapy and several additional areas of biomedical research that enable personalized medicine. Participants will engage in open source programming using the [[NA-MIC-Kit|NA-MIC Kit]], algorithm design, medical imaging sequence development, tracking experiments, and clinical application. The main goal of this event is to move forward the translational research deliverables of the sponsoring centers and their collaborators. Active and potential collaborators are encouraged and welcome to attend this event. This event will be set up to maximize informal interaction between participants. If you would like to learn more about this event, please [http://public.kitware.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/na-mic-project-week click here to join our mailing list].

Active preparation begins on Thursday, April 26th at 3pm ET, with a kick-off teleconference. Invitations to this call will be sent to members of the sponsoring communities, their collaborators, past attendees of the event, as well as any parties who have expressed an interest in working with these centers. The main goal of the kick-off call is to get an idea of which groups/projects will be active at the upcoming event, and to ensure that there is sufficient coverage for all. Subsequent teleconferences will allow for more focused discussions on individual projects and allow the hosts to finalize the project teams, consolidate any common components, and identify topics that should be discussed in breakout sessions. In the final days leading upto the meeting, all project teams will be asked to fill in a template page on this wiki that describes the objectives and plan of their projects.

The event itself will start off with a short presentation by each project team, driven using their previously created description, and will help all participants get acquainted with others who are doing similar work. In the rest of the week, about half the time will be spent in breakout discussions on topics of common interest of subsets of the attendees, and the other half will be spent in project teams, doing hands-on project work. The hands-on activities will be done in 40-50 small teams of size 2-4, each with a mix of multi-disciplinary expertise. To facilitate this work, a large room at MIT will be setup with several tables, with internet and power access, and each computer software development based team will gather on a table with their individual laptops, connect to the internet to download their software and data, and be able to work on their projects. Teams working on projects that require the use of medical devices will proceed to Brigham and Women's Hospital and carry out their experiments there. 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 part of the translational research efforts of [http://www.na-mic.org NA-MIC], [http://www.ncigt.org NCIGT], [http://nac.spl.harvard.edu/ NAC], [http://catalyst.harvard.edu/home.html Harvard Catalyst], [http://www.cimit.org CIMIT], and OCAIRO. It is an expansion of the NA-MIC Summer Project Week that has been held annually since 2005. It will be held every summer at MIT and Brigham and Womens Hospital in Boston, typically during the last full week of June, and in Salt Lake City in the winter, typically during the second week of January.

A summary of all past NA-MIC Project Events is available [[Project_Events#Past|here]].

==Key Investigators==
* BWH/HMS: Jason White, Alex Golby, and Steve Pieper

<div style="margin: 20px;">
<div style="width: 27%; float: left; padding-right: 3%;">

<h3>Objective</h3>

Real-time ultrasound data is used to track the shifting of intracranial anatomy during neurosurgery. This is accomplished with a stationary ultrasound probe that is mounted away from the surgical site, and operates transcranially so as to be completely unobtrusive to surgical activities. Coordinating the use of this device with Slicer and BrainLab:
#Registering the data obtained from it with pre-op images (MRI, CT, etc.) (Fig. 1)
#Using this data to modify/deform the pre-op images in order to maintain a more accurate representation of intraoperative anatomy.

</div>

<div style="width: 27%; float: left; padding-right: 3%;">

<h3>Approach, Plan</h3>

</div>

<div style="width: 40%; float: left;">

<h3>Progress</h3>
One-dimensional object-tracking data generated by the ITUM was ported to Slicer via IGTLink. Both the data and its associated spatial transform was transferred and displayed at a high temporal resolution (for this application, "high temporal resolution" is approximately 6 Hz).

==Background==

We are pleased to announce the 13th PROJECT WEEK of hands-on research and development activity for applications in Image-Guided Therapy, Neuroscience, and several additional areas of biomedical research that enable personalized medicine. Participants will engage in open source programming using the [[NA-MIC-Kit|NA-MIC Kit]], algorithm design, medical imaging sequence development, tracking experiments, and clinical application. The main goal of this event is to move forward the translational research deliverables of the sponsoring centers and their collaborators. Active and potential collaborators are encouraged and welcome to attend this event. This event will be set up to maximize informal interaction between participants. If you would like to learn more about this event, please [http://public.kitware.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/na-mic-project-week click here to join our mailing list].

Active preparation begins on Thursday, April 28th at 3pm ET, with a kick-off teleconference. Invitations to this call will be sent to members of the sponsoring communities, their collaborators, past attendees of the event, as well as any parties who have expressed an interest in working with these centers. The main goal of the kick-off call is to get an idea of which groups/projects will be active at the upcoming event, and to ensure that there is sufficient coverage for all. Subsequent teleconferences will allow for more focused discussions on individual projects and allow the hosts to finalize the project teams, consolidate any common components, and identify topics that should be discussed in breakout sessions. In the final days leading upto the meeting, all project teams will be asked to fill in a template page on this wiki that describes the objectives and plan of their projects.

The event itself will start off with a short presentation by each project team, driven using their previously created description, and will help all participants get acquainted with others who are doing similar work. In the rest of the week, about half the time will be spent in breakout discussions on topics of common interest of subsets of the attendees, and the other half will be spent in project teams, doing hands-on project work. The hands-on activities will be done in 40-50 small teams of size 2-4, each with a mix of multi-disciplinary expertise. To facilitate this work, a large room at MIT will be setup with several tables, with internet and power access, and each computer software development based team will gather on a table with their individual laptops, connect to the internet to download their software and data, and be able to work on their projects. Teams working on projects that require the use of medical devices will proceed to Brigham and Women's Hospital and carry out their experiments there. 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 part of the translational research efforts of [http://www.na-mic.org NA-MIC], [http://www.ncigt.org NCIGT], [http://nac.spl.harvard.edu/ NAC], [http://catalyst.harvard.edu/home.html Harvard Catalyst], and [http://www.cimit.org CIMIT]. It is an expansion of the NA-MIC Summer Project Week that has been held annually since 2005. It will be held every summer at MIT and Brigham and Womens Hospital in Boston, typically during the last full week of June, and in Salt Lake City in the winter, typically during the second week of January.

A summary of all past NA-MIC Project Events is available [[Project_Events#Past|here]].

== Preparation ==

# Please make sure that you are on the http://public.kitware.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/na-mic-project-week mailing list
# The NA-MIC engineering team will be discussing infrastructure projects in a kickoff TCON on April 28, 3pm ET. In the weeks following, new and old participants from the above mailing list will be invited to join to discuss their projects, so please make sure you are on it!
# By 3pm ET on Thursday May 12, all participants to add a one line title of their project to #Projects
#By 3pm ET on Thursday June 9, all project leads to complete [[Project_Week/Template|Complete a templated wiki page for your project]]. Please do not edit the template page itself, but create a new page for your project and cut-and-paste the text from this template page. If you have questions, please send an email to tkapur at bwh.harvard.edu.
# By 3pm on June 16: Create a directory for each project on the [[Engineering:SandBox|NAMIC Sandbox]] (Zack)
## Commit on each sandbox directory the code examples/snippets that represent our first guesses of appropriate methods. (Luis and Steve will help with this, as needed)
## Gather test images in any of the Data sharing resources we have (e.g. XNAT/MIDAS). These ones don't have to be many. At least three different cases, so we can get an idea of the modality-specific characteristics of these images. Put the IDs of these data sets on the wiki page. (the participants must do this.)
## Setup nightly tests on a separate Dashboard, where we will run the methods that we are experimenting with. The test should post result images and computation time. (Zack)
# Please note that by the time we get to the project event, we should be trying to close off a project milestone rather than starting to work on one...
# People doing Slicer related projects should come to project week with slicer built on your laptop.
## Projects to develop extension modules should work with the [http://viewvc.slicer.org/viewcvs.cgi/branches/Slicer-3-6/#dirlist Slicer-3-6 branch] (new code should not be checked into the branch).
## Projects to modify core behavior of slicer should be done on the [http://viewvc.slicer.org/viewcvs.cgi/trunk/ trunk].

<div style="margin: 20px;">
<div style="width: 27%; float: left; padding-right: 3%;">

<h3>Objective</h3>

Real-time ultrasound data is used to track the shifting of intracranial anatomy during neurosurgery. This is accomplished with a stationary ultrasound probe that is mounted away from the surgical site, and operates transcranially so as to be completely unobtrusive to surgical activities. Coordinating the use of this device with Slicer and BrainLab:
#Registering the data obtained from it with pre-op images (MRI, CT, etc.) (Fig. 1)
#Using this data to modify/deform the pre-op images in order to maintain a more accurate representation of intraoperative anatomy.

==Background==

We are pleased to announce the 13th PROJECT WEEK of hands-on research and development activity for applications in Image-Guided Therapy, Neuroscience, and several additional areas of biomedical research that enable personalized medicine. Participants will engage in open source programming using the [[NA-MIC-Kit|NA-MIC Kit]], algorithm design, medical imaging sequence development, tracking experiments, and clinical application. The main goal of this event is to move forward the translational research deliverables of the sponsoring centers and their collaborators. Active and potential collaborators are encouraged and welcome to attend this event. This event will be set up to maximize informal interaction between participants. If you would like to learn more about this event, please [http://public.kitware.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/na-mic-project-week click here to join our mailing list].

Active preparation begins on Thursday, April 28th at 3pm ET, with a kick-off teleconference.

==Background==

We are pleased to announce the 13th PROJECT WEEK of hands-on research and development activity for applications in Image-Guided Therapy, Neuroscience, and several additional areas of biomedical research that enable personalized medicine. Participants will engage in open source programming using the [[NA-MIC-Kit|NA-MIC Kit]], algorithm design, medical imaging sequence development, tracking experiments, and clinical application. The main goal of this event is to move forward the translational research deliverables of the sponsoring centers and their collaborators. Active and potential collaborators are encouraged and welcome to attend this event. This event will be set up to maximize informal interaction between participants. If you would like to learn more about this event, please [http://public.kitware.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/na-mic-project-week click here to join our mailing list].

Active preparation begins on Thursday, April 28th at 3pm ET, with a kick-off teleconference. Invitations to this call will be sent to members of the sponsoring communities, their collaborators, past attendees of the event, as well as any parties who have expressed an interest in working with these centers. The main goal of the kick-off call is to get an idea of which groups/projects will be active at the upcoming event, and to ensure that there is sufficient coverage for all. Subsequent teleconferences will allow for more focused discussions on individual projects and allow the hosts to finalize the project teams, consolidate any common components, and identify topics that should be discussed in breakout sessions. In the final days leading upto the meeting, all project teams will be asked to fill in a template page on this wiki that describes the objectives and plan of their projects.

The event itself will start off with a short presentation by each project team, driven using their previously created description, and will help all participants get acquainted with others who are doing similar work. In the rest of the week, about half the time will be spent in breakout discussions on topics of common interest of subsets of the attendees, and the other half will be spent in project teams, doing hands-on project work. The hands-on activities will be done in 40-50 small teams of size 2-4, each with a mix of multi-disciplinary expertise. To facilitate this work, a large room at MIT will be setup with several tables, with internet and power access, and each computer software development based team will gather on a table with their individual laptops, connect to the internet to download their software and data, and be able to work on their projects. Teams working on projects that require the use of medical devices will proceed to Brigham and Women's Hospital and carry out their experiments there. 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 part of the translational research efforts of [http://www.na-mic.org NA-MIC], [http://www.ncigt.org NCIGT], [http://nac.spl.harvard.edu/ NAC], [http://catalyst.harvard.edu/home.html Harvard Catalyst], and [http://www.cimit.org CIMIT]. It is an expansion of the NA-MIC Summer Project Week that has been held annually since 2005. It will be held every summer at MIT and Brigham and Womens Hospital in Boston, typically during the last full week of June, and in Salt Lake City in the winter, typically during the second week of January.

<h3>Objective</h3>
Real-time ultrasound data is used to track the shifting of intracranial anatomy during neurosurgery. This is accomplished with a stationary ultrasound probe that is mounted away from the surgical site, and operates transcranially so as to be completely unobtrusive to surgical activities. Coordinating the use of this device with Slicer and BrainLab:
* Registering the data obtained from it with pre-op images (MRI, CT, etc.) (Fig. 1)
* Using this data to modify/deform the pre-op images in order to maintain a more accurate representation of intraoperative anatomy.
