Module Description

The ProstateNav module is designed to add an integrated user interface (UI) for MRI-guided prostate intervention (e.g. needle biopsy and brachytherapy) to 3D Slicer. In version 3.6, the module provides user interfaces for the following devices:

  • MRI-compatible pneumatic needle placement robot for transperineal prostate biopsy and brachytherapy (Johns Hopkins University + Brigham and Women's Hospital + Queen's Univeristy)
  • MRI-compatible transrectal needle biopsy device (Queen's University + Johns Hopkins University)
  • Template-based needle guiding system for MRI-guided prostate biopsy and brachy therapy (Queen's University + Brigham and Women's Hospital)

The module has wizard-style interface, which helps an operator follow the clinical procedure step by step. It supports target planning and management, patient-device registration, and verification. The module can also communicate with some of the devices listed above using OpenIGTLink protocol.

Usage

Tutorials

The ProstateNav switches its user interface based on the device type selected by the user. This section describes step-by-step instruction for each device.
