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 algorithms on US data provided by PLUS, Tamas.

Progress

TBD


Delivery Mechanism

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