Dates.Location.Hotels

December 12-14, 2007

SPL at 1249 Boylston Street, Boston MA. (Directions)

Area hotels: Boston_Hotels

Goal

  • Continued discussion of Slicer IGT infrastructure, applications, and timelines
  • Introduce each team's effort in Slicer in the context of IGT
  • active funding&future submissions
  • on-going technical development
  • find unmet needs
  • find how we can share the work
  • Learning IGSK-Slicer
  • Interface to scanners

Agenda

Wednesday, December 12

Theme: Where are we?

  • 12noon: lunch
  • 12:55pm: Welcome (Ron Kikinis)
  • 1-2pm:
    • Slicer: overview of architecture, current status, and future plans (Pieper, Hata)
    • IGSTK
      • Architecture Overview (Ibanez)
      • Current status, and future plans (Cheng) Refactoring Design Discussion
      • IGSTK has time stamping for tracker and event.
      • Monitors to ensure the minimal latency between display and data acquisition (possible take away from IGSTK to Slicer).
      • works on FLTK, Qt



  • 215-330pm: Setting goals for meeting: Each IGT group present what they want to achieve at this meeting.
    • 2:30-3:00pm - NCIGT CIGL Stoll and Demo
    • 3:00-3:15 - NA-MIC Collaborator Georgetown Cleary/Yaniv
    • 3:15-3:30 - NA-MIC DBP Queens/JHU Gobbi/Csoma/Kazanzides
  • 3:30pm-3:45pm: Review of today's progress
    • Did you find what the others are doing with Slicer?


Adjourn
  • 4-6pm (optional) demonstration of Slicer for control and display of MRI scanner (prostate module) @Advanced MRI center, 221 Longwood

Thursday, December 13

Morning

Theme: Where are we?

  • 9:00am breakfast, start work

9-10:00am Demos:

  • Hata (Tracking at BWH)
  • Freudling (Pieper) (Volume rendering)

1000-10:30am Demonstrations

    • Robot-assisted neurosurgery with Slicer (Kazanzides)
    • Robot connected to Slicer via Robot control unit (with Real time OS)
    • Slicer CT coords != Stealthstation CT coords
    • Needs rasToIjk matrix from xml file
    • Inter-computer communication
  • Slicer 3 IGT update

10:30am: Identifying the unmet needs

(At this point, representatives from each site should start thinking which part of the unment needs they can take primary responsibility, and take home as homework.)

  1. Queens: NA-MIC DBP
  2. JHU: BRP
  3. BWH: NCIGT etc.
  4. Georgetown: Liver RF
  5. Kitware-BWH
  • Identify the unique needs in IGT
  • Identify commonality among the projects
  • which one is to be covered by actively funded project?
  • Identity and prioritize unmet needs
  • Find commonality among the needs, consolidate if necessary
  • Identify 2x three focus groups for afternoon

List 1

Plug-in mechanism

Plug-in mechanism / Modules

  • Currently we use CMake + Slicer3
  • Compile vs. Run-time -> run-time is current choice for Steve
  • Slicer Base version 3.0
  • Binary distributed againg Base version
  • Firefox extension
  • How do you balance testing and flexibility.
  • Version control necessary
  • which is module
  • effort underway in NA-MIC/NAC
  • Be ready by XXXXXX.
  • Module/function dependency


    • Data/communication/event...
      • Data Workflow I/O
      • ticking and latency management
      • Threads to read-in tracker info
      • Special DICOM and PACS
      • Priority control of events? -> Event Manager
      • Realtime needs
      • Inter-communication mechanism to/from Slicer


    • Testing/Quality assurance, GUI Testing (Slicer), Tracker Testing (Robot)
