Abstract: One or more devices, systems, methods and storage mediums for performing medical procedure (e.g., needle guidance, ablation, biopsy, etc.) planning and/or performance, and/or for performing registration using at least one mask, are provided. Examples of applications for such devices, systems, methods and storage mediums include imaging, evaluating and diagnosing biological objects, such as, but not limited to, lesions and tumors, and such devices, systems, methods and storage mediums may be used for radiotherapy applications (e.g., to determine whether to place seed(s) for radiotherapy). The devices, systems, methods and storage mediums provide improved registration results by utilizing at least one mask to suppress one or more artifacts or objects (which may or may not include, but is not limited to, at least one medical instrument or tool) in an image including a portion of the medical guidance device and/or to enhance a region or target of interest in the image.

Abstract: A system and method for supporting multi-probe guidance are disclosed. The system comprises: a medical guidance apparatus comprising: a rotatable portion which is rotatable around a first axis; an arc guide attached to or integrally formed with the rotatable portion, and a probe holder movably mounted on the arc guide. The probe holder is rotatable around a second axis perpendicular to the first axis by being translated along an arcuate path defined by the shape of the arc guide. In one embodiment, the probe holder includes a plurality of probe channels to guide a corresponding plurality of probes parallel to each other towards a subject. In other embodiment, the probe holder includes a single probe channel which is offset from a center point of the guidance apparatus by a fixed distance such that each probe can be inserted sequentially through a different insertion point without colliding at the center point.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are provided. Some embodiments include image guidance software comprising an algorithm for registering the virtual device model to the image space automatically, approximating the most likely configuration of the device on the skin surface before the actual device is placed on the patient. The virtual model of the device and its reachable area are overlaid on the planning image data, in order to visualize and quantify the reachability of the target.

Abstract: One or more systems, devices, methods and storage mediums are provided herein for ablation-zone simulation, visualization, planning and/or performance. At least one system, device, method and storage medium may obtain an image volume; obtain a description of a surface that includes a shape of the surface, a size of the surface, and a location of the surface in the image volume; sample the image volume on the surface or along a ray from each surface point to another point within the shape, for example, such that sampled surface-image data is or are produced; and generate a visualization of the sampled surface-image data.
