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.

What I am working on at the moment

• Make 3D Volume Reconstruction of SynchroGrab work

Project - 3D-Ultrasound integration in Slicer

The main part of the project will be the connection of SynchroGrab to Slicer 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

Create 3D volume with Synchrograb
	Create volume with data from the ultrasound device and the tracker
	Create ultrasound calibration matrix
	Create volume with mockup images and tracking information from the tracker
DONE	Create 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
