2008 IGT Project Week Dynamic control of the MRI acquisition

Back to 2008_IGT_Project_Week#Projects

Team:Nathan McDannold, Ben Schwartz, Scott Hoge

Goals: Dynamic control of the MRI acquisition based on US-based signals. This would be to apply existing technologies developed for IGT such as optical-based tracking of a biopsy or ablation probe.

Needs:

1. want to move FUS treatments to dynamic target (liver, kidney)

Approach:

1. use ultrasound navigators
2. how many sensors does one need?
3. different ways to manipulate the MR scan

Results (to be completed and presented at the end of the week):
