3DSlicer extension for computing stereotactic frame coordinates for neurosurgery planning allowing to work with stereotactic arc settings using a Micromar or Leksell Stereotactic device.
See a short demo video for Micromar Stereotectic device here. See a short demo video for Leksell Stereotectic device here.
We are currently in the process of merging two independently developed applications. Consequently, there are still numerous submodules that will be reduced over time.
Modules:
- Stereotaxia: a module with graphics (stereotatic frame, volume, entry_point, target_point) that do registration and 3D coordinates conversion for neurosurgery planning. you can modify manually the frame parameters.
- StereotaxiaLite: converts 2D fiducial entry and target coordinates into 3D reference on a CT volume.
- find_zFrame_SLICERSTEREOTACTIC: Automatic detection of N-shaped markers in stereotactic CT Images. Generating the transform that will align the N-shaped markers so they "lay flat on the axial slicing plane", this has the effect of aligning the Leskell coordinate system with the coordinate system in slicer
- probeView_SLICERSTEREOTACTIC: Reorienting slices in order to obtain "probeview".
Converting the postion of those points to patient space or image space. - stereo_points_SLICERSTEREOTACTIC: Placing stereotactic points/trajectories with X, Y, Z, Ring, Arc settings.
- Go to StereotaxiaLite module.
- Load CT with head frame. For testing,
CTHeadFramedata set in Sample Data module can be used. - Click
Registracionbutton. - Click on the 9 intersection points of the frame in the order shown in the image below:
- Click
Targetbutton and then click in the image to specify the target point. - Click
Entrybutton and then click in the image to specify the entry point on the skin. - Computed angles are displayed in
