Objective

We are developing methods for intraoperative tract detection based on a preoperative plan.

Approach, Plan

Our approach for tract detection is to compare new tracts to the prior information (preoperative plan). Our plan for the project week is to integrate Python code into a slicer module <bar>,...

Progress

We have imported our python module into Slicer (however some aspects of its dependencies are not resolved). A Slicer python GUI now allows comparison of whole-brain tracts to a tract of interest.
