For showing MRI which will be taken in realtime at a tip of the needle to a surgeon in prostate biopsy,  we will track the tip of the needle using OpenCV and send its position to Slicer by using OpenIGTLink.  By using the position data, we will control the scanner. As a result, we will be able to control the scanner automatically.

Needle Detection to Control Scanner for Prostate Biopsy

Key Investigators

  • Brigham and Women's Hospital: Atsushi Yamada, Loïc Cadour, Junichi Tokuda and Nobuhiko Hata


Objective

For showing MRI which will be taken in realtime at a tip of the needle to a surgeon in prostate biopsy, we will track the tip of the needle and control the scanner by using the tracked position data automatically.

Approach, Plan

  1. Tracking: Develop a tracking program by using OpenCV
  2. Control: Develop a server to send the tracked position data to 3D Slicer
  3. Receiver: Develop a receiver to obtain MRI from a scanner
