Building image-guidance systems from open-source components<\/h1>\n

MICCAI 2014<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>— Tutorial event — Date\/Time:<\/strong> Thursday, September 18, \u00a08:00 – 12:00 — Location:\u00a0W20-301 (building north of the tent)<\/span><\/p>\n

Thanks everyone for attending the tutorial!<\/span> We had over 25 participants, most of them completing the hands-on part too. Here is link to the hands-on part presentation<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Outline and scope<\/h2>\n

This tutorial will introduce the participants to best practices in prototyping image-guidance systems for minimally invasive interventions using open-source software tools. After completing this tutorial, participants will be able to build systems for various clinical applications with minimal effort, without any software development.<\/p>\n

The tutorial will consist of two parts: the first part will be a series of lectures, where we give an overview of the imaging, tracking, and guidance devices most commonly used in image-guided interventions, and the software tools to utilize those devices. The second part will be a hands-on session, where the participants will build a real time intervention navigation system using hardware devices provided by the organizers. The presented software tools will include the PLUS toolkit (www.plustoolkit.org<\/a>) for interfacing various hardware devices, calibration, synchronization, processing, and live streaming; and 3D Slicer (www.slicer.org<\/a>) for creating user interfaces with image processing and visualization options in the real time navigation scene.<\/p>\n
