Project Description

Objective	Approach and Plan	Progress and Next Steps
To create an extension that allows surgeons to create 3D models and plan liver resection surgeries. This extension will contain modules for segmenting parts of the liver (parenchyma, tumours, portal and hepatic veins), as well as a module for creating a resection plan in the resulting 3D model.	Possible need for special type of model node when importing / saving data? (have a vtkMRMLResectionSurfaceNode, which will contain a list of control points for the resection surface) Refactoring current modules to improve code and fit into extensions structure	Future work: Generalize to other types of resections (particularly pancreas) Generally interested in customizing Slicer, as in the future we may tailor slicer for this "pipeline"
