2014 Project Week Breakout Session: IGT Neuro

Agenda:

Session Leader: Alexanda Golby

Attendees: Alireza Mehrtash, Isaiah Norton, Alex Yarmakovich, Ron, Tina, Steve, Andras Lasso, Rahul Sastry, Jayshree Kalpathy Cramer

• ultrasound visualization in context of MR
  • demo of current ultrasound trajectory+reconstructed data in Slicer
  • next step: we need "dynamic pre-defined slice reconstruction" (or slice painting)?
• visualize temporal progression of 3D ultrasound -- save various timepoints and be able to toggle between them
  • sometimes during resection the stuff near the probe-tissue interface appears to be residual tumor, and it would be useful to go back to a previous timepoint to see the original tumor extent
• feedback during ultrasound acquisition
  • guidance on when sweep is done (full volume is covered)
  • is the quality of recon is good enough

• aiding interpretation of ultrasound
  • blood vs. saline

• ultrasound annotation during the case

• UKF tractography in neurosurgery

• Brainlab point collection/acquisition -- interface with Slicer
