Key Investigators
- Kitware: Zach Mullen
- Iowa: Hans Johnson
Objective
TubeTK is a new open-source toolkit that hosts algorithms for applications involving images of tubes.
Two driving applications:
- Surgical guidance: registering pre-operative vascular models with intra-operative images (e.g., ultrasound)
- Characterizing vascular patters: using graph theory to distinguish clinical populations based on vascular patterns (e.g., benign -vs- malignant tumors via tortuosity)
History
- June 2001, UNC released the patent on vessel extraction method from [Aylward, Bullitt 1996...]
- TubeTK released under Apache 2.0 license: includes rights to patents
Approach, Plan
- Python module in Slicer 4 for centerline and radius estimation of vasculature in brain MRA
- Workflow: brain envelop segmentation, seeding, extraction
- Integration with VMTK
Progress
Delivery Mechanism
This work will be delivered to the NA-MIC Kit as follows:
- All software written during the project week will be contributed to TubeTK, and algorithms will be incorporated into 3D Slicer as CLI applications.
