2008 Summer Project Week:ProstateSegReg

Return to Project Week Main Page

Segmentation for prostate. Random Walk algorithm as a slicer command line module.

Key Investigators

• Allen Tannenbaum, Yi Gao, Georgia Tech
• Gabor Fichtinger, Purang Abolmaesumi, Siddharth Vikal, David Gobbi, Queen's University
• Luis Ibanez, Kitware

Objective

• To integrate current segmentation algorithm into the software environment being used by Core 3 people.
• Discuss the scenario for the next step's registration of prostates.

Approach, Plan

Currently the algorithms have been implemented either in ITK or local C++ code. We'll discuss with Core 3 collaborators to put that into the software they are using to help with the segmentation work.

Progress

During the project week:

• done: 3D Random Walk Segmentation Slicer3 command line module.
• done: Conformal Flattening ITK filter plugged in Slicer3 as a command line module.
