Key Investigators
- Adam Rankin (Robarts Research Institute, London, Canada)
Background
- Current approach for aortic valve replacement using a valve prosthesis
- Trans-femoral or trans-apical approach used to insert valve to desired location
- Valve deployment bubble expanded or restricting sheath removed to deploy valve permanently
- Current guidance technique involves angiography and fluoroscopy
- PLUS updated to support capture of 3D+t data
- Philips ie33 probe support in PLUS experimental
Project Description
Objective
- Brainstorm workflow and objectives for prototype experiments
- Implement Slicer module (in python) to accomplish this workflow
Approach, Plan
- Enable workflow for choosing aortic annulus center
- Manipulate the target valve orientation by connecting two points
- Ask Csaba lots of questions
- Program in Python
Progress
- Module created
- Python learned (in progress)
