− | <h3>Objective</h3>
| |
− | The goal of this project is to create a segmentation module in Slicer3 that offers a high productivity and reliability to the clinician.
| |
− | The primary application is the segmentation of MRI images using a probabilistic atlas.

− | <h3>Approach, Plan</h3>
| |
− | Our algorithm builds upon the Expectation Maximization theory and is structured to let the clinician make the most efficient use of his/her anatomical knowledge.
| |
− | Because of our intuitive visualization of probabilities, the user can understand the probabilistic features of his/her data and can efficiently tune the parameters to obtain the most accurate segmentation.
| |
− | To meet the time constraints of the tasks in a hospital, a main focus has been devoted to the acceleration of the EM segmentation algorithm.

− | <h3>Progress</h3>
| |
− | A Slicer3 module for MRI Bias Field Correction has been developed to serve as a pre-processing step for the EM segmentation and is currently tested by collaborators who study alcohol and stress interaction in primates.
