Project Description

Preoperative lung CT can often provide additional information about the localization and shape of a lesion. A registration step is needed to simplify the transfer of preoperative planning and enable image guided surgery.

Objective

• Develop easy-to-use interface/module for intraoperative registration in Slicer

Approach, Plan

• Evaluate accuracy of different registration methods under time constraint
• Investigate different approaches for initial rigid registration
• Implement interface that requires minimal user interaction

Progress

• Experimental investigation of feasibility
• Data preparation and script for systematic accuracy evaluation (in progress)
• User interface approach: landmark + rotation
