Use cases
- Category = Segmented Property Category
- Type = Segmented Property Type (+Modifier, optional)
- Anatomic region (+Modifier, optional)
Loading segmentation from DICOM
Assumptions:
- can expect that Category and Type will be initialized, if not - fall back to default codes (Tissue/Tissue codes)
- anatomic region may or may not be initialized (example: can specify anatomic location of the tumor, but may not be present)
- colors may or may not be specified
Consequences:
- need to be able to handle these various combinations
- if colors are not specified, would be nice to suggest some good default color choices (to optimize differentiation of the structures? lookup of default colors may not be easy for medium-large dictionaries)
- it is not clear that it is a good idea to restrict the choices of terminology (or colors) if a user wants to modify segmentation loaded from DICOM - so it might be helpful to choose from existing color maps / terminology dictionaries for a DICOM-loaded segmentation
Creating segmentation from scratch
- choose from predefined dictionaries (combinations of Type/Category/Anatomy customized for a specific use case)
- choose from predefined color tables, or perhaps color assignment strategies (e.g., high contrast, similar shades of color for the segments corresponding to the same kind of structure)
