Collaboration/UIowa/Developing Electronic Atlas Software using NA-MIC Kit

Please use this template to fill in this page. (Gary, v sorry about this new template... tk)

Objective: Develop a software tool for visualizing and querying an electronic atlas. We are developing an atlases of the human lung R01 HL64368, the rat lung R01HL073598, and the mouse lung R01 HL080285. We want to make a common software tool that can be customized for specific atlases. The image data and semantic information will be stored in a data base and will be indexed through a graphical user interface.

Progress:

• Have done an initial design of the desired system.

Next Steps:

• Learn how to interface NA-MIC tools with database tools such as MySql
• Learn how to make a GUI for the atlas
• Learn how to render 2D and 3D images using the NA-MIC software
• Learn how to interact with 2D and 3D images by clicking on the images
• Learn how to read, organize, and visualize images, surface models, segmentations and symbolic information referenced by coordinate systems using the NA-MIC software
