<h3>Objective</h3>
* The goal of the project is to generate a 3D model of the C2 cervical vertebra for surgery planning using an atlas-based segmentation technique.
* A Statistical Shape Model of the C2 vertebra has been created from 91 CT scans using Statismo [1], a toolkit for building PCA shape models.

<h3>Approach, Plan</h3>
* A first loadable module for displaying a statistical shape model (SSMDisplay), which allows visualizing the main variation of the shape, has been implemented. Some small bugs still have to be corrected.
*A second loadable module for landmark constrained shape model fitting (LandmarkSegmentation) is in development to perform interactive segmentation of the vertebra.

<h3>Progress</h3>
* Development of an Extension with the two loadable modules
* Move to the new version of the Superbuild to integrate the two external libraries: Statismo and Hdf5
* Resolution of some bugs in the SSMDisplay module
