*Recommend: Regularized B-splines
*Recommend: B-splines with landmark constraints
*Recommend: B-splines with surface constraints
*Wishlist: Parameter-free registration
*Wishlist: Image-free surface registration
*Wishlist: Parallel optimization

=== Image Segmentation ===
*Goal: Slicer plugin for automatic segmentation
*Require: Contour propagation for intra-subject segmentation
*Recommend: Automatic segmentation (atlas-based) for inter-subject segmentation
*Recommend: Automatic segmentation (model-based) for inter-subject segmentation
*Wishlist: Contour interpolation methods for interactive segmentation

=== Radiotherapy Workflow ===
*Goal: Reasonably complete workflow, including dose review and comparison tools
*Require: Labelmap that can handle overlapping structures
*Require: Visualization of RT dose (2D, as isodose lines, with legend)
*Wishlist: Visualization of RT dose (3D, w/ Shadie)
*Require: DICOM improvements (CT export, DICOM-RT import/export)
*Require: Compute dose volume histograms
*Recommend: Margin tools
*Wishlist: Visualize dose volume histograms
*Require: Better support for extensions
*Recommend: MRML node for registration
*Recommend: MRML node for patient demographics
*Wishlist: Unevely spaced CT
*Wishlist: Vector field visualization
*Wishlist: DICOM Network I/O

=== Data ===
* Goal: 50 cases for inter-subject segmentation
* Goal: 30 cases for intra-subject registration
* Require: New retrospective IRB
* Require: Careful QA of segmentation data 
* Require: Validation data for registration studies
