Objective

The mission of the Center for Real-Time Computing is to promote innovation in time critical applications like medical image analysis for Image Guided Therapy. The application of our focus is non-rigid image registration (NRR) for image-guided neurosurgery. The objective is to improve the performance, accuracy and usability of the existing method. There are two sub-projects we plan to explore.

1. Distributed parametric search for optimum parameter setting during NRR. This project includes three components: 1) development/evaluation of tools and methods for automated registration validation; 2) collection of ground truth data sets; 3) development of the high performance computing infrastructure.

2. Tetrahedral mesh generation for intra-cranial cavity discretization used in physics-based NRR.

Approach, Plan

1. Distributed parametric search:

  1. discuss available tools and methods for automated validation
  2. 75+ tumor resection dataset -- would like to be able to use it
  3. evaluate the infrastructure options: GWE/GSlicer3? web portal? TeraGrid?
  4. collect feedback from potential users

2. Tetrahedral mesh generation:

  1. meshing TCON Thu 3:00-3:30pm
  2. status of unstructured mesh visualization in Slicer3
  3. meshing as a plugin in Slicer3
