2012 Winter Project Week:hybridMRS
Project Title: Generation of a hybrid MR-Spectroscopic (MRS) dataset under 3DSlicer
Key Investigators
- SPL: Jan Egger, Isaiah Norton, Tina Kapur, Alexandra Golby
- UKGM: Daniel Hořínek, Jens Sommer, Christopher Nimsky
- ETHZ: Bjoern Menze
- IKEM: Antonín Škoch
Objective
Generating a hybrid MR-Spectroscopic (MRS) dataset under 3DSlicer that can be used for fusion with the anatomic dataset under iPlan of BrainLAB in AMIGO. A hybrid MR-Spectroscopic dataset can for example be used for biopsy targeting in brain tumors.
Approach, Plan
Try to process MRS data with the MRSI module from Bjoern Menze developed at a previous project week. The module interfaces SIVIC, which is an open-source standards-based software framework and application suite for processing and visualization of DICOM MR Spectroscopy data.
