Key Investigators

• Peter Karasev, Ivan Kolesov : Georgia Institute of Technology
• Karl Fritscher : BWH at Harvard and UMIT (Austria)
• Allen Tannenbaum : Boston University

Objective

• Goal: Improve the usability (speed, visualization, resource management) of the KSlice interactive segmentation algorithm.
• Determine suggested energies to be used on different modalities/anatomic structures

Approach, Plan

• Test the algorithm on more data sets (so far, experiments on orthopedic MRI and limited CT datasets have been performed)
• Experiment different energies on different modalities.
• Reduce the memory consumption for multiple label maps.
• Allow new users (you!) to try the algorithm on your data sets (to obtain feedback on its usability).

Progress

• Successfully segment some TBI and AF images on first try. TBI works great, AF a bit less so.
• Profile with valgrind the bottlenecks in 3D application.
• Generate some synthetic 3D test data to best align matlab and c++ codes' testing.

Delivery Mechanism

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

1. Slicer Module (via PLUS and OpenIGTLink)
