RSNA2011 Planning

Quantitative Imaging Reading Room

Tentative list of demonstrations for the RSNA 2011 Slicer booth. Needs further development and testing Note: RSNA demo machines will need nvidia graphics cards to get GPU Volume Rendering

Some of the issues found with the demos

• EMS: use without atlas only
• Manix VR: minor issues with VR [1]
• Prostate dataset demo: not ready yet
• Radiotherapy: where are Plastimatch tools ? They used to be extensions in Slicer3, I don't think they are available in Slicer4

Slicer4 Punchlist

• Unresolved
  • em segmenter: task simple brain segmentation works, but slowly.
  • ctkDICOMwidget
  • skull stripper
  • DWI to full brain tractography still does not work on mac
  • Data module does not refresh after drag and drop. [2]
• Volume rendering: We have a plan
• Resolved
  • brainsfit
  • changetracker
  • Center 3D view does not work properly [3]
  • Render performance [4]: This is a big issue

• Documentation: We need all core modules reasonably well documented.
• Download pages: We do not have a lot of time left.
• See the plan in July 2011
