Key Investigators
- James Ross
- Raul San Jose
Objective
Our goal is to develop a lung imaging platform that can be used for the clinical understanding of multiple lung diseases like, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), Asthma, Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD) among others. Quantitative lung imaging is a key component of on-going genetic and molecular biology studies that are being carried out at BWH and other centers across USA. A significant example of these new efforts is Genetics Epidemiology multicenter study.
Our goals for this week are threefold:
- User case analysis and design of the main platform components.
- Dynamic programming approaches for the extraction of 3D airways.
- Porting of our current imaging platform, [Airway Inspector] based on 3D Slicer to Slicer 3.
Approach, Plan
Progress
- A semiautomatic lobe segmentation has been successfully implemented in Slicer 3 as a Command Line Module.
- Initial design needs have been discussed.
