Key Investigators

  • Daniel Haehn (Student of Medical Informatics, University of Heidelberg)
  • Luca Antiga, PhD (Medical Imaging Unit, Biomedical Engineering Department, Mario Negri Institute)

Objective

The Vascular Modeling Toolkit (VMTK) is a collection of libraries and tools for 3D reconstruction, geometric analysis, mesh generation and surface data analysis for image-based modeling of blood vessels. It should be very interesting to offer such techniques in Slicer3.

Approach, Plan

VMTK provides Python pipeable scripts (PypeS) to connect various commands and/or scripts. An automated mechanism to generate non-interactive Slicer modules has already been implemented.

The plan is to write a python scripted module for Slicer3 that connects to VMTK pipes and provides the same user interaction style found in VMTK. This is necessary for interactive segmentation.

In addition, a collection of non-interactive modules relevant to segmentation and characterization of vascular networks will be generated.

Finally, Slicer-vmtk packaging issues will be tackled.

Progress

For preparation:
- ground work for making an interactive python scripted module
- playing with VMTK pypes to generate some CLI VMTK scripts
