Date: Tuesday December 1, 2009
Time: 10:30 AM - 12:00 PM
Location: IA31

Objectives

• to enhance interpretation of DICOM images through the use of 3D visualization and analysis
• to gain experience with interactive, quantitative assessment of complex anatomical structures and functional images
• to present current directions of quantitative imaging as a biomarker in clinical trials

Upon completion of this course, participants should be able to

• Describe the methods used for basic analysis of quantitative imaging parameters
• Describe the principles of image registration, segmentation, and volume measurement, and select and use appropriate software for 3D reconstruction
• Identify key analysis and acquisition requirements for multi-center quantitative studies
• Evaluate the impact of quantitative analysis methodology on their research interest

Agenda

• 10:30 AM (Kasia Macura): Overview of imaging biomarkers and their use in clinical trials
• 10:45 AM (Randy Gollub): Generic principles of image registration, segmentation, visualization (technical aspects)
• 11:00 AM (Jeff Yap, Sonia Pujol): Description and hands-on interactive demo for each of the imaging biomarkers and requirements for standardized acquisition in multi-center trials (e.g. RSNA QIBA)
  • Hands-On: Volumetric MR analysis: tumor growth anaysis and measurements
  • Hands-On: FDG-PET/CT (pre/post-therapy whole-body imaging with SUV quantification)
  • DCE-MRI

Updates

Data updated again on 11/8 -- changes made to PETCTFusion-Tutorial after some input from Ron. Changes also made to RECIST tutorial to integrate Compare View.

Data last updated on 11/6 -- changes made to PETCTFusion-Tutorial-Scene.mrml so initial display of data is better. (No changes to datasets included in scene have been made.) -(wjp)

Tutorial Testing

11-8-09 Some changes have been made to the PETCT and RECIST scene files and I've been testing the tutorials over the weekend... plan to complete testing before 9AM monday (wjp)

11-6-09. All tutorials and datasets load and run in Windows RSNA build (generated 11-04-2009). (Stuart W.)

Software

11/2/09 - An svn branch "Slicer3.5-RSNAWorkshop" has been created to keep a more stable implementation aside from the trunk for RSNA. The module is checked in to this branch, and into Slicer's trunk, so it's available as of 11/3 in the nightly build. The nightly build can be used to test this tutorial.

11/6/09 - SVN branch has been updated to include some logic changes, and body weight qualifier to SUV labels (SUVbw). We should include these changes in the binaries for workshops.
