Project Description

Objective

• Generalize current Slicer-based intra-operative/surgical applications that are already successfully translated to the operating room
• Create base classes and utility functions for easy implementation of slicelets/full-screen modules that are convenient to use in the operating room, running on tablets and laptops

Approach, Plan

• Questions:
  • What are the required features?
    • Save/load scene
    • Import pre-operative image (DICOM and non-DICOM)
    • Switch between layouts
    • Ultrasound/tracking control: live image acquisition, start/stop recording, volume reconstruction
    • Record procedure
    • Switch between simplified/full slicer GUI
    • ...?
  • Slicelet/full-screen module, docking widgets (slicelets seem to have performance issue and it's difficult to make sure nothing relies on main window, status bar, etc.)
  • Scene initialization: create empty scene/activate loaded scene
  • How to split code to multiple files but still allow reloading (similarly to Editor?)
  • What are the minimum set of modules required for basic operation of Slicer
  • How to create logic class without activating the GUI
• Create base classes and/or utility classes
• Create intra-operative US/MRI prostate registration slicelet

Progress

• Skeleton full-screen module is added: https://github.com/SlicerIGT/SliceletTools
• Sample sequence (can be replayed using PlusServer)
