Registration in interventional procedures with optical navigator.
Performing interventional procedures in the close proximity to an MR scanner widens the range of operations available for an optical tracking system. In order to gain the full benefits from both unrestricted use of surgical instruments outside the magnet and intraoperative imaging, a method for transferring the registration data of the optical navigator between two locations is required. An opt...
متن کاملInterscan registration using navigator echoes.
A common problem in clinical MRI is anatomic misalignment of imaging slices across successive examinations. This unnecessarily complicates the radiologic assessment of anatomic change over time on serial MRI studies. To address this problem, spherical navigator echoes, which can detect rigid body motion in all six degrees of freedom, were used to guide spatial location and orientation adjustmen...
متن کاملInterventional spinal procedures.
The interventional procedures for disk herniation and protrusion by percutaneous techniques are decompressive such as chemodiscolysis with chimopapain, nucleo-discectomy introduced by Onik, LASER discectomy, and recently nucleoplasty, and decompressive and direct antinflammatory such as chemiodiscolysis with an Oxygen-ozone mixture. These techniques have minimized the invasive nature of surgery...
متن کاملImage Registration for Interventional MRI Guided Procedures: Interpolation Methods, Similarity Measurements, and Applications to the Prostate
Nuclear medicine can detect and localize tumor in the prostate not reliably seen in MR. We are investigating methods to combine the advantages of SPECT with interventional MRI (iMRI) guided radiofrequency thermal ablation of the prostate. Our approach is to first register the low-resolution functional images with a high resolution MR volume. Then, by combining the highresolution MR image with l...
متن کاملBiopsy navigator: a smart haptic interface for interventional radiological gestures
The VRAI group at EPFL is conducting research in the fields of virtual reality and haptics (force-feedback) for medical applications. In particular, we have developed visualization techniques for medical images from various sources, and a high-performance haptic interface. In this paper, we present a technique that combines visualization with haptic rendering in order to provide real-time assis...
