Planning for Image-Guided Radiosurgery
In radiosurgery a moving beam of radiation is used as an ablative surgical instrument to destroy brain tu. roots. Classical radiosurgical systems rely on rigid skeletal fixation of the anatomic region to be treated. This fixation procedure is very pain]ui for the patient and limits radiosurgical procedures to brain lesions. Furthermore, due to the necessity of rigid fixation, radiosurgical trea...
متن کاملImpact of probe pressure variability on prostate localization for ultrasound-based image-guided radiotherapy.
PURPOSE To evaluate the impact of transabdominal probe pressure on prostate positioning with an intramodality ultrasound (US) image-guided-radiotherapy system and to quantify pressure variability over the treatment course. MATERIAL AND METHODS 8 prostate cancer patients (group A) and 17 healthy volunteers underwent 3 consecutive US images with increasing probe pressure levels, and 1 CT acquis...
متن کاملProbe Localization for Freehand 3D Ultrasound by Tracking Skin Features
Ultrasound probe localization with respect to the patient's body is essential for freehand three-dimensional ultrasound and image-guided intervention. However, current methods for probe localization generally involve bulky and expensive equipment. In this paper, a highly cost-effective and miniature-mobile system is described for 6-DoF probe localization that is robust to rigid patient motion. ...
متن کاملTreatment Planning for Image-Guided Robotic Radiosurgery
Radiosurgery is a non-invasive procedure that uses focused beams of radiation to destroy brain tumors. Treatment planning for ra-diosurgery involves determining a series of beam conngurations that will destroy the tumor without damaging healthy tissue in the brain, particularly critical structures. A new image-guided robotic radiosurgical system has been developed at Stanford University in a jo...
متن کاملUltrasound calibration framework for the image-guided surgery toolkit (IGSTK)
Registration is a key technology in image-guided navigation systems. By aligning pre-operative images with the intra-operative setting these systems provide visual feedback that improves the physician’s understanding of the spatial relationships between anatomical structures and surgical tools. Most often the alignment is obtained using fiducials. Another option is to replace the use of fiducia...
