Objective

We are developing capabilities for Slicer to display and manipulate overlapping structures.

Approach, Plan

The approach is to represent labelmaps in Slicer as a vector of unsigned characters, with one bit per structure.

Progress

  • Discussions of target data types and capabilities:
    • Typically around 100meg for a Head/Neck CT
    • Typically no more than 100 structures
  • Goal is to provide lossless representation of original data, with conversion from contours to images for editing and warping
    • Keep original contours as slicer models (view in slices as slice intersections)
    • Provide routines to rasterize contours into label volumes on demand for editing on a per-structure basis
    • Create vector image representation for running warp operations (warp all structures with single evaluation of pixel deformation function)

Delivery Mechanism

This work will be delivered to the NA-MIC Kit as a modification of Slicer interals
