NA-MIC and NAC at RSNA

3D Interactive Visualization of DICOM images

The 3D Interactive Visualization of DICOM Images for Radiology Applications course will be offered by the National Alliance for Medical Image Computing (NA-MIC) in conjunction with the Neuroimage Analysis Center (NAC) at the 97th Scientific Assembly and Annual Meeting of the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA 2011). As part of the outreach missions of these NIH funded National Centers, we have developed an offering of freely available, multi-platforms open source software to enable medical image analysis research. The course along with the tutorial 3D Visualization datasets aim to introduce translational clinical scientists to the basics of viewing and interacting in 3D with DICOM volumes and anatomical models using the 3DSlicer software.

RSNA 2011 Quantitative Imaging Reading Room

A hands-on exhibit, The 3D Slicer open source software platform for segmentation, registration, quantitative analysis and 3D visualization of biomedical image data will be held during the RSNA 2011 Quantitative Imaging Reading Room (QIRR) from Nov.27 to Dec.2, 2011. The purpose of the exhibit will be to introduce translational clinical researchers to the capabilities of the 3DSlicer software. A team of 3DSlicer experts will be running hands-on demonstrations with sample datasets or, where appropriate, data provided by attendees. The demonstrations will include volume rendered head, thoracic and abdominal CT scans, MRI-based topographic parcellation of human brain, PET/CT quantitative assessment of tumor response, image-guided prostate interventions, longitudinal analysis of meningioma growth, white matter exploration for neurosurgical planning using Diffusion Tensor Imaging tractography, and registration and segmentation strategies for follow-up on cases of Traumatic Brain Injuries.
