Needle segmentation from 3D ultrasound images
In this project I propose to develop a robust and efficient needle segmentation method, which
will be used to localize and track the needle in three-dimensional (3D) ultrasound (US) guided
focal ablation therapy. 3DUS guided biopsy and minimally invasive therapy involves guiding
a needle into the lesion for biopsy (removal of tissue for pathological examination), and
ablation therapy (destruction of tissue). The Peters laboratory has developed image-guided
interventional technology, which makes use of 3D ultrasound imaging. Thus, fast
identification and segmentation of needles in a 3DUS image will allow improved guidance of
insertion of the needle and verification of the location of the needle with respect to the lesion
being biopsied or ablated.
