Objective
The aim of this project is to create needle tip tracking software for real-time complex MR images, which includes data server of the tracked tip by using OpenIGTLink.
Approach, Plan
This software will be independent from Slicer to use this program for Slicer3 and Slicer4. We will implement the following elements:
- Image-based tip tracker by using OpenCV
- Tracked data server by using OpenIGTLink
- Image receiver by using OpenIGTLink
Progress
- RT MR images for phantom study were scanned.
- Image-based tip track algorithm was updated.
- Image server was updated.
- Demo video (QuickTime)
