Key Investigators

  • Andras Lasso (Queen's University)
  • Junichi Tokuda (BWH)

Objective

We will continue to develop 3D Slicer's ProstateNav module for MRI-compatible devices for transrectal and transperineal prostate interventions. Based on our experiments in Fall 2009, we will improve the usability and stability of the module and prepare for clinical trials of transperineal device planned in Spring 2010.

Approach, Plan

A few complex developments (details to be specified) is planned to be completed during the project week.

Progress

The current version of the module is already tested in a few phantom experiments. Further improvements are needed to make the module usable in clinical trials.

Agenda

  • Recent feedbacks
    • Transrectal device
    • Transperineal device
      • Repeatability is quite good, but registration accuracy should be improved.
      • DICOM transfer??
  • The goal of Winter Project Week
    • Improved Z-frame tracking (multi-slice registration)
    • Prepare for the clinical application (biopsy)
    • Improved GUI
    • Tina suggested to integrate prostate integration with ProstateNav Module
  • What should be done before the week?
    • Junichi will work on multi-slice registration
    • DICOM transfer initial implementation?
  • What should be done after the week
    • Testing on multiple platforms
    • Write test script???
    • Checking memory leaks
    • Uploading to the trunk repository
    • Documentation
