Workflow

  1. Scanner: Scout image acquisition with the landmark close to the prostate
  2. Navigation soft and scanner: Calculate Z-frame position, scan a slice through the Z-frame
  3. Repeat previous step if the Z-frame is not visible enough to register the robot
  4. Scanner: 3D volume acquisition of the prostate
  5. Navigation soft: Select (or import) the targets, show needle path, allow modification
  6. Navigation soft: Calculate the target and path, send it to the robot
  7. Robot: Execute command
  8. [Optional] Navigation soft: send current robot coordinates to the Real Time scanner IO for needle tracking, display image
  9. Navigation soft: Display robot position and status
  10. Scanner: Confirm robot location before biopsy
  11. Manual: Insert biopsy needle
  12. [Optional] Navigation soft: show Real time images of the needle insertion
  13. Manual: Fire biopsy gun

Open IGT Link Protocol

Some commands / queries are expecting parameters in the Body section which follows the Header Structure. The parameter can be:

  • 8 bit Byte
  • 32 bit Integer
  • 32 bit Float

For example the Position and Orientation parameters in SET_Z_FRAME command will be the following.

 Bytes (Body)
 58      62      66      70      74      78      82
 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
 |   X   |   Y   |   Z   |  Ox   |  Oy   |  Oz   |
