2012 Winter Project Week:Needle Detection in MR Images for Brachytherapy in AMIGO

• 

  Projects List

• 

  Tracked ultrasound navigation for prostate needle placement.

Key Investigators

• Brigham and Women's Hospital: Radhika Tibrewal, Jan Egger, Xiaojun Chen, Matthew Toews, Sandy Wells, Tina Kapur
• Technical University Munich: Maximilian Baust, Stefanie Demirci, Nassir Navab

Objective

We are integrating a needle detection sub-module in the proposed iGyne module in Slicer 4. The needle detection is to be used during Gynecological Cancer Brachytherapy in AMIGO and applied on MR images.

Approach, Plan

After the initial design and definition of the iGyne module, the needle detection module would be added to it.
