Objective
itkEMS is a brain MRI segmentation software that combines registration and bias correction. It is currently in use at UNC-CH and Utah as a general purpose segmentation tool, and has also been applied as a method for skull stripping structural and DT MRI. It is currently available as a stand-alone software that uses ITK and FLTK.
The goal of this project is to develop Slicer plugins that incorporate different components of the segmentation software to provide the NA-MIC community with the capability of developing their own custom segmentation pipelines.
Approach, Plan
We plan to develop different plugins using CLP that can be combined together to form a segmentation pipeline. We will explore the use of the module chaining mechanism developed by Marco.
Progress
We have implemented a preliminary version of a registration and segmentation plugins using CLP.
