2D/3D Deep Registration Along Trajectories With Spatiotemporal Context: Application to Prostate Biopsy Navigation.

Objective: The accuracy of biopsy targeting is a major issue for prostate cancer diagnosis and therapy. However, navigation to biopsy targets remains challenging due to the limitations of transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) guidance added to prostate motion issues. This article describes a rigid 2D/3D deep registration method, which provides a continuous tracking of the biopsy location w.

External validation of a prostate biopsy simulator.

Introduction: Simulation-based training has proven to be a promising option allowing for initial and continuous training while limiting the impact of the learning curve on the patient. The Biopsym simulator was developed as a complete teaching environment for the prostate biopsy procedure. This paper presents the results of an external validation of this simulator, involving urology residents recruited during a regional teaching seminar.
