Overview

ZFrameRegistration is a 3D Slicer extension designed to support the workflow of the in-bore MRI-guided therapies (see references below for clinical context). ZFrameRegistration was developed and tested to support transperineal MRgBx and CryoAblation procedures in the Advanced Multimodality Image Guided Operating (AMIGO) at the Brigham and Women's Hospital, Boston. Its applicability to other types of procedures has not been evaluated. The registration of the intra-procedural image frame of reference with the transperineal biopsy or cryoablation templates.

Usage:

With 3D slicer main window.

  1. After install the extension, the user need to switch to the module ZFrameRegistrationWithROI.
  2. Select the desired zFrame model from the list. The module provides two zFrame model options:
  • original (vertical) version
  • modified (horizontal) version
  1. Load a nrrd file into 3D Slicer by clicking the Slicer Add Data button. Alt text

  2. Choose the volume in the Zframe template volume selector. Alt text

  3. The ROI definition will be automatically triggered if the volume is selected or changed, user needs to define ROI by clicking two points in the slice widget. Alt text

  4. Press the run algorithm button, the registration will be performed and the zframe model will be shown both in the slice widgets and the 3D view widget. Alt text

  5. If the result is not good, click the "Reset" button or user the manual start/end indexes. If the "Reset" button is clicked, the user will be prompt to do the ROI definition as in step 3. Afterwards, press the run algorithm button again. Alt text Alt text

  6. When the result looks good, the zframe will align very well with the fiducial artifacts on the slice widgets and the 3D view window. Alt text

Slicelet mode

The user have the option to run the module in a slicelet mode Type the following command in a terminal in Linux or Mac OS system.

$ cd ${Slicer_execution_path}
$ ./Slicer --no-main-window --python-script lib/Slicer-x.x/qt-scripted-modules/ZFrameRegistrationWithROI.py

Alt text For Windows system, see the link for more information Slicelet Mode
