About myself
I am a student in Computer Engineering from Germany with a specification in Optoelectronics. At the moment I am writing my diploma thesis on "3D-Ultrasound Integration in Slicer". My university back in Germany is University of Mannheim. From September 2006 to August 2007 I studied in Waterloo, On Canada.
If you would like to contact me feel free to write me an e-mail.

What I am working on at the moment
- Totally understand GradientDiffusionFilterModule
Project - 3D-Ultrasound integration in Slicer
The main part of the project will be the integration of the source code of SynchroGrab in Slicer by using CUDA support.
After discussing with Junichi I got a deeper understanding of how the technical solution might look like.
This will be the technical approach.
3D CUDA
TO DO
- Understand the CUDA source code of Nicholas and Ben
Contacts
- Ben Grauer: Volume Rendering with CUDA
- Nicholas Harlambang: CUDA Guru
Ultrasound tracking device
Hopefully most of this part is already done by SynchroGrab
TO DO
- Find out what is already coverd by Synchrograb
- Compile Synchrograb and see if everthing is working
Capture Video
- Existing Videocard: Hauppauge ImpactVCB [1]
- Linux Driver: Video4Linux2
- There is existing C source for V4L2 on the web
- Should run on new fedora kernel
Contacts
- Christoph Ruetz
Tracker
Track data via vtk not itk
Contacts
- Haiying Liu
Calibration
Description: To get correct information from the ultrasound device is has to be calibrated
Contacts
- Raul San Jose
Information:
- I have serval links and information from Raul on which I have to go through
Infos on loadable Modules
HowTo Loadable Module
HowToLoadable Module GUI
Infos about Executable Modules inSlicer
Other Stuff to do
Find a new cart for the ultrasound unit

How to "Enable CUDA 2.0 in Fedora 8 for use with Slicer 3.2"
Date: Sept. 26th 2008
Fedora 8 is the newest Fedora version for which CUDA is available. The available CUDA Version is 2.0. To enable CUDA 2.0 in Slicer 3.2 in Fedora 8 follow the steps below:
- Download the CUDA installation files (Driver, Toolkit, SDK) here [2] and remember the directory in which you downloaded them. I used:
- ~/Download/CUDA/Driver/
- ~/Download/CUDA/Toolkit/
- ~/Download/CUDA/SDK/
- For the installation there must not run a X-Server. Therefore we have to restart the computer. When we see the GRUB Bootscreen press any key to enter the GRUB menu. Highlight the Fedora Version you want to boot and press 'a'. Then type 'Type 3' and hit the 'Enter' key. Fedora will boot up without X Server and drop you at Command Line Login prompt.
- Login and go to the directory where you download the driver. For me this means: 'cd ~/Download/CUDA/Driver/'
- Now we have to change the permissions for the driver and make it executable. This work with 'chmod +a BINARY-NAME' (Replace 'BINARY-NAME' with the name of the driver binary)
This installation worked for me on a DELL machine with XEON Dual Core and a Nvidia G8800
