Background
Airway Inspector (www.airwayinspector.org) is a tool for CT-based image quantitative analysis of the lung to allow the exploration of airway morphology and desitometric characteristics [1]. Airway Inspector is based on Slicer2.
Objective
Port the capabilities of Airway Inspector to Slicer4.
Approach, Plan
This goal will be achieved by creating extension module with two components:
- Emphysema Analysis Sub-Module
- Port Chest structure segmentation using VTK
- Creation of loadable module
- Airway Analysis Sub-Module
- Port airway measurement VTK classes
- Creation of a loadable module
Progress
The main libraries for lung and airway wall segmentation tools have been developed using C++ and VTK and have been validated and used in multiple clinical works.
Delivery Mechanism
This work will be delivered to the NA-MIC Kit as a
- Slicer Module
- Extension — loadable modules
