Project Ideas from Kevin Cleary• These three project ideas come from Kevin Cleary, of
Georgetown University, who works closely with the ERC– Aurora tracking of PICC line– Calibration of BiPlane Fluoro System– Respiratory motion tracking
• All three are projects that I am also interested in and would be glad to see done.
• May involve some travel to Georgetown and use of ERC lab here
• Dr Cleary’s contact information is – [email protected]– Phone (202) 687-8253
OBJECTIVE: We intend to go to the next step, with a complete program working with the AURORA Magnetic Tracker, possibly validated by cadaver studies in the interventional radiology suite.
GOAL: To develop a magnetically tracked system to allow insertion of a Peripherally Inserted Central Catheter (PICC) line without fluoroscopic guidance.
STATUS: Simulation program developed last year by a CIS2 group.
Calibration of BiPlane Fluoroscopy System
• Goal is to develop software and hardware to calibrate biplane fluoroscopy system at Georgetown
• Funds can be made available for machining calibration plate if needed
• Access to fluoroscopy system and qualified technologist is available
• Want to be able to accurately measure distances under fluoroscopy for eventual use in interventional studies
