[IGSTK-Developers] plans for future iterations and Georgetown demo applications

[Kevin Cleary]

Hi everyone:

 

Greetings from Kauai! (I just had to say that ;)

 

Well, it is actually raining here a little bit but otherwise very nice and
of course I will keep an eye on Stephen who is here too

 

As for the demonstration applications, I did take a look at the proposal and
the proposed applications were:

.           Application 1: Guidewire tracking (Georgetown)

.           Application 2: Needle segmentation and tracking (Kitware)

.           Application 3: Liver biopsy (UNC)

 

What I propose is to make the applications as follows:

*	Demo application: the simplest application with a Vicra optical
tracker: what Patrick showed at SPIE
*	Georgetown Application 1: extend demo application to add
electromagnetic tracking and do clinical phantom study for liver or lung
needle placement in interventional suite at Georgetown
*	Georgetown Application 2: robot needle driver using the deck of
cards robot (see picture attached) - Hee-su already put some of this
together last fall with the then current version of IGSTK
*	UNC application: liver biopsy

 

We could also discuss if there should be an application that Kitware focuses
on. I could add more but let me start the discussion here and I will plan to
be on the tcon on Thursday at 1 pm (that is 8 am Hawaii time)
