Realistic and Dynamic Simulation of Needle Implanatation in Brachytherapy

چکیده
We present a realistic and dynamic simulation method of the needle implantation in brachytherapy. The needle is firstly modeled as a polygon model and then its position and orientation are dynamically and automatically located using a magnetic tracking technology. Two buffers that reserve the result of the volumetric rendering and geometric rendering are mixed in the context of image-level hybrid volume rendering. Thereafter pre-planning of virtual catheters and the interactive and vivid simulation of needle implantation in brachytherapy are carried out. The realistic enhancement ways such as depth weight, shadow and 3D cutting view are also proposed in this paper.

Effects of Defining Realistic Compositions of the Ocular Melanoma on Proton Therapy
Background: Recent studies in eye plaque brachytherapy have shown a considerable difference between the dosimetric results using water phantom and a model of human eye containing realistic materials. In spite of this fact, there is a lack of simulation studies based on such a model in proton therapy literatures. In the presented work, the effect of utilizing an eye model with ocular media on pr...
متن کاملInteractive Simulation of Flexible Needle Insertions Based on Constraint Models
This paper presents a new modeling method for the insertion of needles and more generally thin and flexible medical devices into soft tissues. Several medical procedures rely on the insertion of slender medical devices such as biopsy, brachytherapy, deep-brain stimulation. In this paper, the interactions between soft tissues and flexible instruments are reproduced using a set of dedicated compl...
متن کاملSensorless Motion Planning for Medical Needle Insertion in Deformable Tissue
Minimally invasive medical procedures such as biopsies, anesthesia drug injections, and brachytherapy cancer treatments require inserting a needle to a specific target inside soft tissue. This is difficult because needle insertion displaces and deforms the surrounding soft tissue causing the target to move during the procedure. To facilitate physician training and pre-operative planning for the...

Introduction: Accelerated Partial Breast Irradiation (APBI) is an effective treatment for breast carcinomas because of its limited number of fractions. Strut-adjusted volume implant (SAVI) is a HDR brachytherapy applicator to deliver the prescription dose with good PTV coverage and acceptable dose to skin, chest wall and organ at risks. Acceptable clinical outcomes depend on a...
