About myself

I am a student in Computer Engineering from Germany with a specification in Optoelectronics. At the moment I am writing my diploma thesis on "3D-Ultrasound Integration in Slicer". My university back in Germany is University of Mannheim. From September 2006 to August 2007 I studied in Waterloo, On Canada.

If you would like to contact me feel free to write me an e-mail.

Project - Integrated Real-Time 3D Ultrasound Navigation

In my project I am developing a Software for "Integrated Real-Time 3D Ultrasound Navigation" with the name 4DUltrasound. The program creates a 3D volume of recorded ultrasound frames in teal-time. The output of 4DUltrasound is forwarded via OpenIGTLink to Slicer3D.

The main part of the project will be the connection of SynchroGrab to Slicer3D via OpenIGTLink. Synchrograb is an Open-Source software that generates 3D ultrasound volumes.

Technical Information

All technical Information can be found here: Technical Information

After discussing with Junichi I got a deeper understanding of how the technical solution might look like.

This will be the technical approach.

Steps to go

Slicer
DONE	Implement slicer module to start Synchrograb from within Slicer
Create 3D volume with Synchrograb
	Create ultrasound calibration matrix
DONE	Create 3D volume with data from the ultrasound device and the tracker
DONE	Include options for turning on and off US/Tracker device in cmake
DONE	Create 3D volume with mockup images and tracking information from the tracker
DONE	Create 3D volume with mockup images and mockup tracking information
Synchrograb
DONE	Send 3D volume data via OpenIGTLink to Slicer and display data in Slicer
DONE	Compile Synchrograb core i.d. uncomment unnecessary parts (Ultrasound, Tracker)
Preparation
DONE	Display 3D volume data received via OpenIGTLink with the volume rendering module
DONE	Create stand alone software to send volume data to Slicer via OpenIGTLink
DONE	Compile and run Slicer with OpenIGTLink and volume rendering
