2013 Summer Project Week:Ultrasound Calibration

• 

  Projects List

Key Investigators

• BWH: Matthew Toews, Daniel Kostro, William Wells, Isaiah Norton
• Queen's University: Tamas Ungi
• Kitware: Stephen Aylward

Objective

The goal of this project is to develop 2D ultrasound technology for image-guided procedures, specifically neurosurgery.

Specifically, we focus on techniques that can operate in the absence of an external probe tracking systems, i.e. 3D reconstruction and online visualization.

Approach, Plan

• Develop code (C++) for ultrasound feature matching and associated applications
  • 3D reconstruction
  • Online visualization / navigation
• Port to a Slicer module
• Testing on calibration US data provided by PLUS, Tamas.

Progress

TBD

Delivery Mechanism

• Code and slicer module
• A writeup of developments/results for future publications.
