MGH-NA-MIC-2010-Kickoff

Back to 2010 Brainstorming

What

Planning meeting for NA-MIC DBP on adaptive radiotherapy. http://www.na-mic.org/pages/DBP:Head_and_Neck_Cancer

DBP project (core)

• Quantify anatomic differences
• Delivered vs. planned comparison
• Delivered vs. adaptive comparison

DBP project (wishlist)

• IMRT vs. proton comparison

Engineering (core)

• Labelmap that can handle overlapping structures
• Visualization of RT dose (as isodose lines, with legend)
• Dose volume histograms
• MRML node for registration
• MRML node for patient demographics
• Better support for extensions

Engineering (wishlist)

• Editor enhancements
• Unevely spaced CT
• Vector field visualization

Algorithms (core)

• Interactive registration (landmark splines)
• Automatic segmentation (atlas-based)
• Automatic segmentation (model-based)
• Segmentation plugins for slicer

Algorithms (wishlist)

• Contour interpolation methods for segmentation
• Parameter-free registration
• Regularized B-splines
• B-splines with landmark constraints
• B-splines with surface constraints
• Image-free surface registration
• Parallel optimization

Image data

• Limited data for adaptive RT project (currently 3-5 cases)
• More extensive data for automatic segmentation

Outreach

• Tutorial(s) on the wiki (2 already exist)
• User group meeting at AAPM
• Presentation at a DBP conference for year 2
  • AAPM (American Association for Physicists in Medicine http://www.aapm.org/) - late July / early August 2011 or 2012
  • ASTRO (American Society for Radiation Oncology; http://www.astro.org/) Sept 22-26, 2013
• Hands-on teaching event for the DBP scientific community for year 3

Other agenda items
