Home < Slicer3:Prostate Intervention Module

Objective

Provide step-by-step navigation for prostate intervention.
Integrate two existing modules ProstateNav and Queen's Transrectal Prostate Biopsy Module.

Task List

Get familiar with the module.
- Go through the tutorial in ProstateNav Documentation.
Minor changes:
- Template
  - We don't need the workspace model
  - Change the name of buttons in the Targeting page. Move should be Select hole. We don't need Stop button.
- Transperineal Robot

Which module could we take as a basis for the development?
- ProstateNav (it is already in the trunk, supports OpenIGTLink)
- Junichi will strip down the code.
Workflow wizard steps
- Should be specialized / customized for different applications
- Two approaches for configurable wizard:
  - Static: The workflow is defined when the developer builds 3D Slicer
  - Dynamic: Run-time configuration. The users can configure the workflow by:
    - Choosing from the list of the pages in the GUI
    - Load XML file.
Supporting different devices
- Use OpenIGTLink as an abstraction layer
