During this Project Week, we did a lot of algorithmic design work, focusing on leveraging optimal or geodesic path information to provide for volumetric segmentations of fiber bundles.  Working with Marek Kubicki and the Harvard DBP, we were able to begin the process of applying our algorithm to the full cingulum bundle with new labelmaps and to a new fiber bundle - Arcuate.  We have recently achieved significant results in volumetric segmentations using a locally-constrained region-based technique (see the images above).

Objective

The objective of this study is to develop software and hardware platform to perform robot-assisted surgery in the intelligent operating room. We have formulated three specific goals for AIST-BWH core: 1) design extensions to open-source software 3D Slicer to support the handling, fusion, and display of massive multi-modality data for image guided surgery of brain tumor, 2) develop versatile and portable inter-device communication mechanism for robotics surgery system, 3) develop open-source software engineering mechanism for project-side development, 4) validate planned extensions through use-case scenario evaluations and phantom data that simulate multi-modality image guided brain tumor surgery.

This joint venture between AIST and BWH is part of Intelligent Surgical Instruments Project sponsored by METI, Japan.

Approach, Plan

Our approach is to use NA-MIC sandbox as the preliminary tools to share and maintain software toolkit for robotics control software. We will also introduce network support of Slicer, recently extended by Steve Pieper, Luis Ibanez, and Haiying Liu to monitor and control robots from Slicer.
