Trachea Stent Planning
Key Investigators

- George Cheng (Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center)
Project Description
Different tracheal malformation (tracheobronchial malacia) and neck cancers with tumors invading the airway require the implantation of tracheal stent (T-tubes or Y-stents) to keep the airway opened.
Objective
- Develop a tracheal stent planning tool to fit T-tubes and Y-stent
Approach, Plan
- Implement a minimization problem to fit a parameterized model of the stent to the patient tracheal model using constrained points provided by the user
- Build a module to interact with the user and show the stent fitting results and the model parameters.
Progress
- Initial conversation with George Cheng
- Develop the algorithm for automatic fitting of an Y-stent using a cylindrical articulated model
