| − | * Measuring topological variations, especially around cancer tissues, could provide effective medicine and cancer treatment. Computational tools on volume data sets and algorithms implemented into existing platforms such as slicer (3DSlicer.org) can prove useful if they can help with margins during the operations so that only those cells which needed to be out are taken out, not less not more. Dynamically measuring the topological and anatomical variations of medical data sets could lead to applications such as image-guided surgery. The challenge is that it is necessary to differentiate between cancer cell and healthy tissue, and because of the technology both false positive and negative cases have been observed along with deformations, which in volume terms means that same spatial voxels are now occupied by different values. Caveat: it can also mean that different tissues have the same values as well. One of the demos in the conference clarified that the interface has minimal effect in the process during operation (so as not to burden the surgeon) and also has to be better than what the surgeon is used to seeing. | + | * Measuring topological variations, especially around cancer tissues, could provide effective medicine and cancer treatment. |
