Abstract

Cryoablation is one of many local destruction techniques used to remove liver tumors. The procedure is cumbersome and time-consuming if there is no real-time access to intra-operative images as well as navigation information of instruments. In this paper, we propose a software-based solution that addresses issues like interactive, real-time navigation and visualization of cryoprobes, segmented tumor, intra-operative MR images, temperature maps, and isotherm surfaces. The system has an intuitive graphical user interface that provides access to a variety of functionalities. It enables the surgeon to perform the procedure safely, accurately, and rapidly by providing visual decision support mechanism.
