Objective
Our goal is to develop a lung imaging platform for the clinical understanding of multiple lung diseases like, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), Asthma, Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD) among others. Quantitative lung imaging is a key component of on-going genetic and molecular biology studies that are being carried out at BWH and other centers across USA. A significant example of these new efforts is [Genetics Epidemiology] multicenter study. The NAMIC Kit and Slicer 3 are ideal candidates for the implementation of such a effort.
Our goals for this week are threefold:
- User case analysis and design of the main platform components.
- Dynamic programming approaches for the extraction of 3D airways.
- Porting our current imaging platform, [Airway Inspector] based on 3D Slicer to Slicer 3.
Approach, Plan
Progress
- A semiautomatic lobe segmentation has been successfully implemented in Slicer 3 as a Command Line Module.
- Initial design needs have been discussed.
