Summer project week 2011 Workflows SOA
Workflows and Service Oriented Architecture Modules for Slicer4 as Extensions
Key Investigators
- Brigham and Womens Hospital, Harvard Medical School: Alexander Zaitsev, Wendy Plesniak, Charles Guttmann, Ron Kikinis
Objective
- Thin clients for Slicer4 to support standardized workflows
- Automation of image processing steps, data management
- Combination of automated methods with human activities
- Case Studies: Left Atrial Ablation follow-up, Brain PET/CT/MRI scans processing for cancer treatmen follow-up, brain atrophy estimation
- Major methods/algorithms used by workflows: Registration (BRAINSFit, BRAINSResample), Biasfield correction
Approach, Plan
- Trying to build existing thin clients (Slicelets)
- as Slicer4 Extensions.
- Add Left Atrium Ablation scar segmentation into the CARMA workflow (RSS or LA Segmenter?)
- Incorporate MS Lesion EM Segmentation Scenario into the workflows
Progress
Slicer4 Extensions and Custom Builds:
Learned how to do. Have to deal with package build for 32-bit Mac
CARMA workflow:
Gave several Life demos (including) general SOA/workflows approach. Identified ergonomic to be addressed in CARMA WF GUI
Segmented hyperintencity regions at left atrium wall (RSS module). Issue: overestimation, need to add more thresholding controls to RSS.
MS Lesion Segmentation
Worked with EM Segmenter module builders on adult and pediatric cases segmentation
Lesion overestimation have to be addressed: can be done with manual correction
Long running pre-processing steps make SOA/WF approach preferable for Lesion Segmentation
