Brief summary

Visualize surgical needles inserted in the prostate, under the ultrasound modality.

Detailed description

In order to help the surgeon to remove the prostate during a laparoscopic intervention, our goal is to provide an innovative medical device that merges intra-operative ultrasound and endoscopic images. We have already achieved the proof of concept of a device that merges ultrasound and endoscopic images. The objectives of this clinical trial are to accompany the maturation of the fusion device and to make the initial assessments of its Medical Service. The main difficulty is to visualize markers (surgical needles) under both modalities , in order to merge them.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Percent of surgical needles visible under the ultrasound modality (once inserted in the prostate)1year

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Percent of data(ultrasound and endoscopic) on which the merging works1year
Percent of accurate merging1yearthe merging is accurate if its error is under 5mm
Percent of mistaken segmentation of the vesical neck in the endoscopic image1yearThe segmentation in the endoscopic image is mistaken if it differs of more than 5mm² from the segmentation in the ultrasound volume
