Project Description
NeedleFinder is a tool for segmentation of needles from MR scans which requires manual initialization of the tip of the needle. It has been tested extensively on MR-guided gynecologic brachytherapy data, and preliminarily on MR-guided prostate biopsy data. In this project, we aim to eliminate this reliance on manual interaction and develop a completely automatic strategy to segment the needles. We have tested a CNN approach that provides good results, even if a post processing step must be implemented in order to remove some noise and to refine the obtained segmentations.
