Project Description

Objective

• Development of an intraoperative guidance system for breast cancer surgery that would allow for guidance, tumor detection and localization.

Approach, Plan

• Possibilities of combining multiple imaging modalities (3D Scanner Surface data, US, MR) and visualizing these in 3D Slicer

Progress

• Acquire tracked US using the PLUS toolkit (DONE)
• Record surface data using an Artec 3D scanner and visualize it in 3D Slicer (DONE)
• Communicate with the 3D Scanner through 3D slicer module (WORK IN PROGRESS)
• Define an acquisition protocol. Tamas Ungi showed their protocol and Slicer module that includes needle tracking and a possible collaboration was identified (WORK IN PROGRESS)
