Objective

A difficult problem in image-guided therapy is to be able to overlay pre-operative plannign with intra-operative imaging for surgical guidance. In this project we implement an algorithm to do that in the case of prostate surgery. We do that through biophysical simulation of the intra-operative tissue dynamics and registration on top of the intra-operative US image. Our goal is to develop a module which taking a set of artificially deformed prostate volumes extracted from MRI infers the deformation modes and uses them to register the planning over the US intra-op images.




Approach, Plan

We have a prototype version of the algorithm in Python, the idea is to assess the interactive needs and plugging it into Slicer.

Progress

TBD


Delivery Mechanism

  1. Slicer Module
    1. Extension -- loadable
