IMPPACT - Image-based Multi-scale Physiological Planning for Ablation Cancer Treatment
(details)

IMPPACT is a European research project, which develops an intervention planning system for Radiofrequency Ablation of malignant liver tumours. TU Graz is dealing with medical visualization and augmented reality in the project. Problem or Context Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) is a minimally invasive form to treat cancer without open surgery, by placing a needle inside the malignancy and destroying it through intensive heating. Though the advantages of this approach are obvious, the intervention is currently hard to plan, almost impossible to monitor or assess, and therefore is not the first choice for treatment. Project IMPPACT will develop a physiological model of the liver and simulate the RFA intervention result, accounting for patient specific physiological factors.

  • Closing gaps in the understanding of particular aspects of the RFA treatment by multi-scale studies on cells and animals
  • Transforming microscopic findings and into macroscopic equations
  • Extending the long-established bio-heat equation to incorporate multiple scales
  • Validating results at multiple levels
  • Cross checking validity for human physiology by comparison to images from ongoing patient treatment
  • Visual comparison of simulation and treatment results gathered in animal studies and during patient treatment
  • Extensive validation together with a user-centred software design approach guarantee suitability of the solution for clinical practice

Mathematical modelling together with experimental validation lead to a patient specific intervention planning system. read more Expected Results & Impacts IMPPACT will be modelling a physiological organ including the metabolism and patient specific tissue properties. This alone is a huge step forward as compared to the state-of-the-art intervention planning systems that do not address this issue.

The IPS will allow prediction of treatment results on a patient specific base. It will therefore bring down the risk of local recurrences and eliminate the nowadays so common repeated treatments of the same tumour, making RFA an as effective treatment as resection.

CranUS - Cranial Ultrasound Simulation
(details)

The use of augmented reality in medicine is an important field, especially in teaching and training of sensitive tasks. To support teaching and training of neonatal cranial sonography, an augmented reality simulator was developed. Physical models of a newborn and an ultrasound probe were tracked and their movements displayed in their virtual representation. The head of the newborn model was augmented with a 3D volume, reconstructed from ultrasound images of a real patient. Reconstructing a 3D volume from irregular source data takes a special focus on positioning the images and the subsequent interpolation. Moving the physical model towards each other, the according slices are generated in realtime.
