Project Description

Objective

• The goals of the entire project are to display pathways to a target tumor avoiding anatomical structures including arteries and other organs and to use these pathways for planning.
• The goal of this project is to implement the function to pick up geometrically specific pathways (short distance, small oblique and so on) from calculated pathway candidates.

Approach, Plan

• Implement function to display maximum and minimum length paths
• Implement function to display maximum and minimum oblique paths
• Fix bugs

Progress

• Created this page (1/6)
• Private GitHub repository: Percutaneous Path Designer module
• Implemented planning part (1/6)
• Implemented needle path selection part (1/6)
• [Planning procedure]
  • Set a target point, obstacles, region of insertion candidate
  • Obtain the path candidates with visualization as sun ray
  • Select one path from the path candidates by using the slider interface
  • Find a needle insertion point obtained by extending the tip of the selected needle path candidate
