MICCAI2013 SlicerIGT Tutorial Plan

Objective

• Hands-on session to learn how to use Slicer + Plus platform in IGT research

Logistics

Organizers (TBD)

• Queen's University
  • Andras Lasso
  • Tamas Ungi
  • Csaba Pinter
  • Gabor Fichtinger
• BWH
  • Junichi Tokuda
  • Nobuhiko Hata
  • Sonia Pujol
  • Ron Kikinis
• MGH
  • Gregory Sharp

Date (TBD)

• September 14-18, 2014
• full-day or half-day?
  • • Full-day would be good for those who have already decided to use Slicer+Plus as their research platform
    • Full-day might not be so attractive for those who just want to see what Slicer and Plus can do.

Place (TBD)

• BWH might be easier to invite clinicians to the tutorial

Tutorial

Target Audience

• Researchers
• Engineers
• Clinicians

Target Applications

• Central line insertion
• Regional nerve block
• Drainage of difficult anatomical places
• prostate biopsy
• etc

Data sources

• Scanners, trackers
  • Setup one or a few tracking system and broadcast
  • Ultrasound scanner, if possible
• It's also important to demonstrate how easy to switch between simulator and trackers

Slicer IGT library?

Ron suggested to make something like http://wiki.slicer.org/slicerWiki/index.php/Documentation/4.3/Registration/RegistrationLibrary

Application	Organ	Preop Image	Intraop Image	Tracking device	Device-to-image calibration	Image-to-Image registration	Visualization
Transrectal US-guided Prostate Biopsy	Prostate	N/A	TRUS	Transrectal needle guide	N/A	N/A	Real-time image
MR-guided Prostate Biopsy (transperineal)	Prostate	MRI	MRI	Template	Fiducial-based	B-spline intensity based	Reslice by user
CT-guided Liver Tumor Ablation	Liver	MRI	CT	Optical	Reference marker on the scanner	B-spline intensity based	Reslice by tracker
