Team: Jayender Jagadeesan, Raul San Jose, Noby Hata, Greg Michaud
Goals:
- Develop an algorithm to determine the optimal transseptal puncture location for maximum maneuverability of the catheter inside the left atrium.
- Register the optimal location of the transseptal puncture computed on the preoperative CT/MR image to the intracardiac echo image for helping clinicians guide the needle in real time.
Approach:
- Develop a dynamic model for the catheter using differential geometry of curves and continuum mechanics.
- Define the Jacobian operator for the catheter which relates the end-effector velocity to the "joint" velocities.
- Based on the isotropic index defined for robots, we determine the optimal location of the transseptal puncture.
- Develop algorithms to register the septal wall in the preoperative MR/CT image to intraoperative ultrasound image.
Results (to be completed and presented at the end of the week):
