Overview

We have created a module that provides a workflow interface for MR-guided transrectal prostate biopsy. The MR images are captured with the help of an endorectal coil which is mounted on the same shaft as the biopsy needle.

• The steps in the workflow are as follows:
  • Calibration, to register the image to the biopsy device via MR fiducials.
  • Targeting, to mark biopsy targets (manually) and compute needle trajectory and depth (automatically).
  • Verification, to use post-biopsy images to verify biopsy locations against the planned targets.

This module provides a demonstration of how Slicer modules can be created for specific interventional devices.

Detailed Information about the Pipeline

• Illustrate the components and workflow of the pipeline using your own data
• Demonstrate parameters/steps that need to be adjusted using someone else's data
