Segmentation and 3d reconstruction of pericardial sac

Key Investigators

  • Harvard Medical School: Mohsen Mahvash


Objective

  1. Segmentaion and 3d
    reconstruction of pericardial sac
    (a thin tissue layer that covers the heart)
    for image guided surgery and surgical training simulators

Approach, Plan

  1. Trying 3dslicer modules
    for segmentation
    and 3d reconstruction
    to allow image guided surgery and surgical simulation
  1. 1- I used several modules including editor that includes functions for automatic and manual segmentaion
    2- For pericardium segmentation it seems the only option is manual segmentation
    3- I learned that for huge number of slices we need more memory more than 8GB
    4- WE can connect slicer and either a robot or haptic device using OpenIGTLink and we tested for a program that simulate a robot tip position
    - Thanks to Ron and Noby's Group and others for their help
