Background
Brainlab’s surgical navigation system provides a research interface called "IGTLink" which allows 3D Slicer to acquire images and tracking data via the network. The steps required to do this are documented in http://wiki.slicer.org/slicerWiki/index.php/Documentation/4.3/Modules/OpenIGTLinkRemote/BrainlabTutorial. However, the steps are overly complex for non-programmers. Our goal is to define the functionality requirements, design an intuitive user interface, and prototype a Slicelet that simplifies the process, thereby enabling routine ultrasound data collection in the OR by a resident or medical intern without the need of dedicated technical support.
Project Description
Objective
- Prototype a Slicelet that simplifies and streamlines the steps required to acquire ultrasound data into 3D Slicer via BrainLab’s IGTLink
Approach, Plan
- Before Project Week:
- Setup 3D Slicer development
- Study existing Slicelets as examples (e.g., )
- During Project Week:
- Define functionality requirements, discuss Module vs. Slicelet
- Design user interface, discuss use of CLI (Python GUI?) vs. loadable (QT?)
- Consider using an existing Slicelet as a framework or build from scratch
- Prototype functionality and user interface into the framework
Progress
- Set up Slicer development -- many thanks to Adam Rankin!
- Defined functionality requirements
- Set up US connection via OpenIGTLink
- Calibrate ultrasound registration
- Collect 2D ultrasound sequences
- Reconstruct 3D ultrasound
- Preview 3D ultrasound
- Save 2D and 3D data
- Requirements for User Interface
- Easy to use by non-technical user
- Sequential instructions
- Uncluttered UI
- Single view for real-time and preview modes
- Simple, complete instructions on failure (e.g., connection fails)
- Created a simple prototype
- Used SlicerIGT Example Guidelet -- many thanks to Tamas Ungi!
- Still much to do, but basic framework is in place
