Key Investigators

• Queen's: Adam Rankin

Objective

The goal is to create a module that can act as part of Slicer or independently as a Slicelet to provide an interface for the collection of ultrasound data, reconstruction of said data, and output of the volume in DICOM format.

Approach, Plan

• Implement module
• Debug module
• Test module with sample data from PLUS server
• Repeat until working!
• Test behaviour of module as a Slicelet
• Determine appropriate extension parent, or a new extension

Progress

• Fixed bugs in Plus library/Plus server
• Resolved UI sluggishness by using already-existing info in OpenIGTLink connector node

To do:

• Complete implementation of module (partially complete)
  • Complete export of voxel data into DICOM series using DCMTK
• Test module with sample data
• Test behaviour of module as a Slicelet
  • Implement IGT connection mechanism within module UI

Delivery Mechanism

This work will be delivered to the NA-MIC Kit as a Slicer module, currently not packaged in an extension.
