Key Investigators

  • Raul San Jose, Jorge Onieva (Brigham and Women's Hospital)
  • George Cheng (Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center)

Project Description

Different tracheal malformation (tracheobronchial malacia) and neck cancers with tumors invading the airway require the implantation of tracheal stent (T-tubes or Y-stents) to keep the airway opened.


Objective

  • Develop a tracheal stent planning tool to fit T-tubes and Y-stent

Approach, Plan

  • Implement a minimization problem to fit a parameterized model of the stent to the patient tracheal model using constrained points provided by the user
  • Build a module to interact with the user and show the stent fitting results and the model parameters.

Progress

  • Initial conversation with George Cheng
  • Develop the algorithm for automatic fitting of an Y-stent using a cylindrical articulated model
