Back to AHM_2014 Agenda
What we have accomplished
- Created an outstanding scientific and engineering community in the field of Medical Image Computing (MIC).
- Investigated novel algorithmic approaches: Particle systems, registration algorithms, segmentation algorithms,
- Created the NA-MIC kit, a free open source platform for MIC and the basis for 3D Slicer.
- 3D Slicer is today a platform with worldwide impact.
Highlights
- Robust algorithms for segmentation in the face of anatomical variability: label fusion
- Comprehensive toolbox for the analysis of individual and population DTI data
- The predominant shape analysis toolbox (SPHARM-PDM)
- A novel framework for modeling brain connectivity networks
- Robust pipeline for processing clinical brain images
- Automatic 4D segmentation of longitudinal brain MRI in severe TBI
- NAMIC researchers take lead in novel spatio-temporal image and shape analysis methodologies (Whitaker, Styner, Gerig, Tannenbaum and colleagues)
Where we go from here
- Project week will continue.
- 3D Slicer 4 will continue.
- The remaining months of NA-MIC funding will be used to simplify the submission of extensions.
