Project Description
Objective
- Objective
- We will design an architecture of 3D Slicer module to support image-guided abdominal and thoracic intervention (RF/cryo-ablation and biopsy for liver, kidney and lung). The module will provide
- Point-based patient-image registration.
- Automatic Fiducial Registration.
- Target and workflow management based on ProstateNav
- We will design an architecture of 3D Slicer module to support image-guided abdominal and thoracic intervention (RF/cryo-ablation and biopsy for liver, kidney and lung). The module will provide
Approach, Plan
- Approach
- We will integrate the following modules:
- Point Based Patient Registration Module developed by Junichi
- Automatic Fiducial Registration Module developed by Junichi
- Abdominal Intervention Module for 3D Slicer 3.6 developed by Atsushi
- We will integrate the following modules:
Progress
- Discussed a new approach of making workflow-oriented wizard interface
- Making a module that has its own implementation of features necessary for all steps in the clinical workflow is not a good idea. (e.g. Prostate Nav and Abdominal Navigation Module)
- Instead of making a complete set of features, we could make a small script that binds existing modules required for the given clinical workflow.
- Ideally, the script has a small GUI to navigate the user along the clinical steps.
- Implemented a prototype Python script to prove the concept. "IGTWizard" See below for more detail.
