Logistics

Please download and install Slicer to your laptop before the event.

Note: not all steps of the tutorials can be completed on 32bit operating systems due to memory limitations.

Workshop Instructions

  • Step 1: (On the USB) Delete the directory Home->Data
  • Step 2: Create a new directory called 'workshopData' in your home directory
  • Step 3: Download the 4 archive datasets on the workshop workstation (Right-click->Save Link As->Choose 'workshopData' directory->Okay)
  • Step 5: Unzip all archive datasets into 'workshopData'
  • Step 6: (Personal laptop) If not done already, download the correct Slicer4 binary file (see above)

For USB participants: All tutorials except SimpleITK with Slicer, will be using the 'Slicer' icon. The SimpleITK with Slicer will be using the 'Slicer-ITKv4' icon.

Additional information

Note: 3rd Tuesday of the month 11AM until 1PM Iowa time is the time of monthly QIN working group TCONs (Image Analysis and Bioinformatics WGs). Some of the Iowa QIN members and Andrey Fedorov (BWH QIN) will need to attend those calls.

BWH/Iowa QIN/AIM meeting (March 22)

Agenda to be finalized by Milan Sonka, based on email communication of BWH and Iowa teams

Items of interest (Reinhard Beichel):

  • AIM - general overview + discussion (~1 h)
  • Discussion of BWH QIN use-case (~30 min)
  • Discussion of Iowa QIN use-case - H&N (~1-2 h)
  • Discussion of Iowa bioinformatics infrastructure setup: XNAT, databases, application to Iowa use cases (~30 min)
  • AIM/Slicer project - overview + discussion: 2D/3D/4D objects, AIM toolkit concept vs. specific use-case implementation, ... (~2h)
  • Slicer 4 - module development, GUI design, future directions, development support, etc. (~1-2h; I'm not sure if this will be covered by other presentations and who would be the right person for this)

Andrey's sugested items 

1) Slicer 4.0 status and future (~30 min -- beyond what will be
covered by the general workshop program, Fedorov)
 * what is currently available
 * what is being actively developed and should be available soon
 * it would help if Iowa collect specific set of questions according
to your needs
2) AIM 3.0 overview (~1 hr, Fedorov + Iowa AIM experts)
 * concepts and motivation for structured reporting
 * AIM
 * alternatives (e.g., DICOM SR)
 * available support: user-level tools, toolkits
 * limitations
3) Slicer/AIM integration plans and status (~30 min, Fedorov)
 * connection with the existing Slicer functionality
 * supported annotation types
 * user-level workflow
 * limitations

4) BWH QIN use case (~30-45 min, Fedorov)
 * research questions of our interest
 * kinds of data being analyzed
 * processing workflows
 * use of Slicer
 * applicability of AIM
5) Iowa QIN use case (~1 hr, Iowa)
 * I would like to learn specifically about Iowa bioinformatics
infrastructure (use of XNAT, other components)

6) Brainstorming/discussion of AIM applicability, alternatives (~1hr)

6) Focused discussion for developers, as Reinhard suggested (~1-2 hr),
need to coordinate with the general program events to avoid
duplication)
