Project Description

Objective

• One goal of the mi2b2 collaborative effort is to create a web-based teaching tool for fetal and neonatal anatomy as well as a browser for quantified information. The goal of this project is to create a prototype application for this purpose which can be easily extended to other testing scenarios.

Approach, Plan

We propose the following steps to create a high-level didactic content creation tool.

• Enable switching between different testing scenarios (fetal brains, liver etc.)
• Start with the existing Liver tutorial dataset from the NA-MIC training core which includes a limited number of Q&A
• Load a visual scene linked to a question catalog from a defined file format (XML?)
• The visualization and the questions are linked so answers can be provided in a fully interactive fashion (picking of a 3D mesh.. etc.)
• Track user-specified answers and provide statistics after testing mode
• Use 3D Slicer to generate content for training and testing
• Prototype will be built on top of existing visualization infrastructure (XTK and web-based fetal atlas tool)

Progress

• User interface mockups are being prepared
