The bias field on the 3D US data varies spatially with a very low frequency. It is similar to the bias field effects in MR caused by magnetic inhomogeneities.

  • Liver with fiducials

  • Liver with fiducials and segmentation

  • Liver model

Key Investigators

  • BWH: Haiying Liu, Noby Hata, Sota Oguro
  • Georgetown University: Ziv Yaniv

Objectives

  • build a system for surgical planning and navigation to guide RF liver ablation

Approach, Plan

The workflow reads as follows [after segmentation]: 1. Export the segmentation to the planning program. 2. Run the planning program. 3. Load the plan specified in an xml file into slicer for visualization and modification. 4. User can view the plan, ablations overlayed onto the image slices, ablation locations are from 

  the xml file and the size of the sphere was already available in Slicer before step 1

5. User can move ablation locations. 6. Export modified plan.

Progress

......

Delivery Mechanism

The work will be evolved as a Slicer module for surgical planning.
