Project Title: Contouring of Anatomy Structures like Tumor, Bladder, Rectum and Sigmoid for Gynecological Brachytherapy

Key Investigators

  • BWH: Tina Kapur, Akila Viswanathan
  • University Hospital of Marburg: Jan Egger


Objective

This project aims to support the time consuming manual slice by slice segmentation process of contouring the anatomy structures for Gynecological Brachytherapy. Therefore (semi-)automated segmentation tools under the medical platform 3D Slicer are used to extract the anatomy structures like tumor, bladder, rectum and sigmoid. Furthermore, we want to evaluate the segmentation results achieved with the tools from 3D Slicer by using the manual segmentations.

Approach, Plan

For evaluation, we expect that we will be able to use the contours extracted by physicians with the Nucletron Oncentra Planning System.
