Short description of the project

We would like to create an end-to-end application within the NA-MIC Kit to enable an existing transrectal prostate biopsy device to perform multi-parametric MRI guided prostate biopsy in closed-bore high-field MRI magnets.

This page describes the technology roadmap for robotic prostate biopsy in the NA-MIC Kit. The basic components necessary for this application are:

• Tissue segmentation: Should be multi-modality, correcting for intensity inhomogeneity and work for both supine and prone patients, all imaged with an endorectal coil (ERC).
• Registration: co-registration of MRI datasets taken at different times, in different body positions, and under different imaging parameters
• Prostate Measurement: Measure volume of all segmented structures
• Biopsy Device Parameters: Geometry, kinematics, and calibration/registration of the robot system must be available in some form. This capability is not currently part of the NA-MIC kit. The application will be modular, to enable use of different devices.
• Tutorial: Documentation will be written for a tutorial and sample data sets will be provided to perform simulated biopsies.

The primary goal for the roadmap is to develop an interventional module for Slicer3 for MRI-guided prostate biopsies. This module and the accompanying tutorial will serve as a template for interventional applications with Slicer3. The module will provide the necessary functionality for calibrating the robot to the MR scanner, planning biopsies, computing the necessary robot trajectory to perform each biopsy, and verification via post-biopsy images. We will obtain a biopsy plan from multi-parametric endorectal image volumes, executable with an existing prostate biopsy device. The system will be will be implemented under Slicer3 as an interactive application.
