====June 2007 Project Week====
During this Project Week, we did a lot of algorithmic design work, focusing on leveraging optimal or geodesic path information to provide for volumetric segmentations of fiber bundles.  Working with Marek Kubicki and the Harvard DBP, we were able to begin the process of applying our algorithm to the full cingulum bundle with new labelmaps and to a new fiber bundle - Arcuate. We have recently achieved significant results in volumetric segmentations using a locally-constrained region-based technique (see the images above).

Objective

Our objective is to make progress on the roadmap initiative of creating an end to end solution that provides a tutorial for NA-MIC kit users to perform lesion analyses in Slicer3.

Approach, Plan

For this week, we will attend and participate in the following training relevant to this DBP activities:

  • EM Segmenter User Group
  • Plugins for Slicer3
  • DBP Engineers Lunch
  • Registration Breakout
  • Batchmake

Fully analyze 2 lupus subjects and 2 matched healthy normal volunteer data-sets collected:

  • EM Segment
  • BRAINS
  • Prastawa/Gerig Lesion analysis method

We see our roadmap initiative breaking into the following stages:

a) Criteria and definition of what does an expert define and perceive as a lesion (like rules on multi-contrast MRI), creation of a document/catalogue that guides manual segmentation but also algorithm developers.

b) Specification of advanced software for user-guided efficient segmentation of lesions (e.g. 3D level set evolution etc., definition of MRI contrast to use to do that, etc.).

c) Towards approaches towards fully automatic lesion segmentation using multi-contrast MRI.,

d) Validateion/test framework for comparison of user-defined lesion patterns to automated/automatic lesion segmentation, definition of comparison metrics.
