Potential Areas of Collaboration
- Multimodal registrations from BWH with PLUNC
- ITK needs GPU codes
- How to put UNC code into the open source world (from BWH experience)
- Visual bookmarks as cf. Slicer (scene views)
- Tolerance and other surface color washes on textured objects
- Endoscopy and 3D MR segmentation: cervix
- AMIGO w/ endoscopy
- AMIGO w/ curved needles
- Curved needles for biopsies
- Optical CT inclusion
- FEM modeling sharings between BWH and UNC
- Robotics and device tracking sharing: BWH has device tracking expertise: OPENIGT
- Shadie/MGRView or 3D PLUNC or 3D Slicer integration
- Adding cmake/software process to PLUNC
- Problem: how to integrate object-based coordinate systems into object models and integrate UI controls within those coordinate systems?
- MGRView w/ ray-cast volume rendering a la volview/vtk
- Inclusion of Ontario ARKit/SparKit? (adaptive RT)
- What can be taken from PLUNC into Slicer right away?
- There needs to be a remodeling of PLUNC licensing to meet the Slicer sharing philosophy
- US-to-MR or -CT registration brought to RT
- Visualize uncertainty by painting over texture (Pfister/UNC)
- Combine Shadie language with MGRView/PLUNC 3Dview capabilities
- Image analysis and visualization via Slicer (selected modules in use) into PLUNC into MOSAIQ, etc.
- PLUNC Need: Flexibility/refactor?. Multimodal registration. Including context; annotations
- Is there a role for python, numpy?
- Note: WashU CERR has a simple dose engine. Do we integrate that?
- 2d-3d Registration for IGRT using Nanotube Stationary Tomosynthesis from Siemens, Xinray
- Head and Neck Segmentation by registration and refinement
- Antialiasing algorithm
- How will antialiasing impact DVHs? What is the drift in the dose distribution
- Morphomics Segmentation software for Prostate and Cervix maybe
- James balter collaboration LA problem
- ITK should have GPU support
- Potential tools from UNC:
- Iterative reconstruction software is shareable
- General GPU tools
- Manual Editing of alignment
- Dose accumulation calculation
- Mechanisms
- Software maintenance R01
- BRP collaborative grant
- Registration of endoscopic images with CT for IGRT: Gyn colposcopy
- Steerable needle planning for gyne brachytherapy
