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

  1. 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

Progress
