Key Investigators

  • PI: Gabor Fichtinger, Queen's University
  • Co-I: Purang Abolmaesumi, Queen's University
  • Queen's University: David Gobbi, Siddharth Vikal
  • Johns Hopkins University: Csaba Csoma
  • NA-MIC: Katie Hayes
  • GeorgiaTech: Allen Tannenbaum

Objective

The Queen’s/Hopkins team is developing novel devices and procedures for cancer interventions, including biopsy and therapies.

Our objective is to create an application for MRI Guided Transrectal Prostate Biopsy based partially on the Brachytherapy Needle Positioning Robot Integration started in June 2007 Project Week.

Approach, Plan

  • Develop a workflow-based GUI for MRI-guided transrectal biopsy
  • Utilize KWWidgets workflow widget engine (already in Slicer)
  • Reuse some parts of the transperineal prostate robot module
  • Add second-monitor full-screen interventional view to slicer

Progress

Winter 2008 Project Week

During this Project Week, we created the GUI for the Trans-Rectal Prostate Biopsy module and developed an OpenIGTLink tracker/robot <-> Slicer communication protocol together with Kitware (Luis) and the BWH IGT group.

June 2007 Project Week

During the 2007 MIT Project Week, we designed the major components and protocols required for transperineal intervention with the BMW group.
