Key Personel

  • JHU: Jerry L. Prince, PI, Aaron Carass, Min Chen, Snehashis Roy
  • NA-MIC: Nicole Aucoin, Ron Kikinis

Funding Duration

08/01/2009-07/31/2011

Goals of the Project

The primary goals of this proposal are to enhance the NA-MIC code base with a segmentation algorithm that is capable of skull stripping and segmenting both cerebrum and cerebellum separately or collectively in a way which provides accuracy comparable to human raters.

Aims

  1. Rewrite SPECTRE using the NA-MIC software methodology for inclusion in Slicer 3D
  2. Complete the algorithms necessary for isolating and establishing a coordinate system on the cerebellum
  3. Parameters will be optimized in order for SPECTRE to perform well with a variety of differelty aquired data
  4. Compare SPECTRE against all publically available (source or binary) skull-stripping software
