We have created a module that provides a workflow interface for MR-guided transrectal prostate biopsy.
The MR images are captured with the help of an endorectal coil which is mounted on the same shaft as the biopsy needle.
The steps in the workflow are as follows:
- Calibration, to register the image to the biopsy device via MR fiducials.
- Targeting, to mark biopsy targets (manually) and compute needle trajectory and depth (automatically).
- Verification, to use post-biopsy images to verify biopsy locations against the planned targets.
This module provides a demonstration of how Slicer modules can be created for specific interventional devices.
