Slicetracker is a Slicer extension which focuses on tracking the prostate during prostate biopsies including Z-Frame registration and calculation of the hole to be used for insertion of the needle to be able to reach the target.  Including a lot of discussions we were able to make it even more usable than it was in the first stage.

Project Description

Slicetracker is a Slicer extension which focuses on tracking the prostate during prostate biopsies. In order to set the needle at the right position, SliceTracker includes a so called Z-Frame registration and calculates the optimal hole of a grid with 15x14 holes to be used for guiding the needle.

Objective Approach and Plan Progress and Next Steps
  • Use SliceTracker currently used in shadow mode + collecting feedback from Kemal about usability
    • At least 5 cases in a row which has to run without having any issues, then production use
  • Integration of Z-Frame registration
  • Calculation of template hole and depth to apply for reaching targets
  • Discussions and feedback about usability and improvements
