2009 Summer Project Week Liver Ablation Slicer
Key Investigators
- BWH: Haiying Liu, Noby Hata
- Georgetown: Ziv Yaniv
Objective
A complete workflow. This means loading the data, manually marking regions, processing this segmentation and exporting the result to the optimization program. After this we need to load the results of the optimization program and navigate.
Approach, Plan
Our approach for analyzing diffusion tensors is summarized in the IPMI 2007 reference below. The main challenge to this approach is <foo>.
Our plan for the project week is to first try out <bar>,...
Progress
Software for the fiber tracking and statistical analysis along the tracts has been implemented. The statistical methods for diffusion tensors are implemented as ITK code as part of the DTI Software Infrastructure project. The methods have been validated on a repeated scan of a healthy individual. This work has been published as a conference paper (MICCAI 2005) and a journal version (MEDIA 2006). Our recent IPMI 2007 paper includes a nonparametric regression method for analyzing data along a fiber tract.
