Objective

TubeTK is a new open-source toolkit that hosts algorithms for applications involving images of tubes.

Two driving applications:

  • Surgical guidance: registering pre-operative vascular models with intra-operative images (e.g., ultrasound)
  • Characterizing vascular patters: using graph theory to distinguish clinical populations based on vascular patterns (e.g., benign -vs- malignant tumors via tortuosity)

Approach, Plan

  • Python module in Slicer 4 for centerline and radius estimation of vasculature in brain MRA
    • Workflow: brain envelop segmentation, seeding, extraction
  • Integration with VMTK

Progress

Delivery Mechanism

This work will be delivered to the NA-MIC Kit as a:

  1. ITK Module
  2. Slicer Module
    1. Built-in
    2. Extension -- commandline YES
    3. Extension -- loadable
  3. Other YES

All software written during the project week will be contributed to TubeTK, and algorithms will be incorporated into 3D Slicer as CLI applications.
