Objective
Our objective is to make progress on the roadmap initiative of creating an end to end solution that provides a tutorial for NA-MIC kit users to perform lesion analyses in Slicer3.
Approach, Plan
Fully analyze 2 lupus subjects and 2 matched healthy normal volunteer data-sets collected. Definition of several stages: a) Criteria and definition of what does an expert define and perceive as a lesion (like rules on multi-contrast MRI), creation of a document/catalogue that guides manual segmentation but also algorithm developers. b) Specification of advanced software for user-guided efficient segmentation of lesions (e.g. 3D level set evolution etc., definition of MRI contrast to use to do that, etc.). c) Towards approaches towards fully automatic lesion segmentation using multi-contrast MRI., d) Validateion/test framework for comparison of user-defined lesion patterns to automated/automatic lesion segmentation, definition of comparison metrics.
Progress
June 2007 Project Week
First meeting as a new DBP in lupus. We received hands on training on ITK/VTK, as well as, EM Segment. We processed lupus case using EM Segment.
Jan 2007 Project Half Week
Jeremy attended this meeting in order to learn about NA-MIC
