Objective

QA evaluation of derived images for large population studies is vital to ensure study results are accurate and relevant. We will create a Slicer module capable of querying a database of associated derived volumes and label maps from our AutoWorkup pipeline for interactive QA evaluation.

We will also minimize duplication of QA efforts through database management within the module, allowing multiple Slicer instances on a network to evaluate our results by subject without repetition or conflict. In addition, we will optimize the evaluator's time through process schemes like pre-loading of batched data.

Approach, Plan

We will use the Python scripting capabilities to create a loadable module for Slicer that is able to query a database. We will take advantage of QT Designer to streamline our UI development and test on a copied version of our network hierarchy.

Progress

The UI for our module is complete and functioning and much of our module's logic has been created and tested. We will be continuing development of this module and hope to present at the Winter Project Week.
