2010 Winter Project Week TubularTreeSeg

• 

  Projects List

• 

  Snapshot of Tubular Surface Segmentation framework as a Slicer module, and obtained result

Key Investigators

• Vandana Mohan, Allen Tannenbaum (Georgia Tech)
• Marek Kubicki (BWH)

Objective

Implement a Slicer module for the Tubular Tree segmentation framework of Mohan et al.

Approach, Plan

Implement as a command-line module via integration of current MATLAB implementation.

Progress

• The algorithm is available in MATLAB with parts of the framework as C code (via mex).
• During winter project week 2010: Framework integrated into Slicer as MATLAB module. Tested for CB segmentation. (See above image for snapshot of module view and result from Slicer.)
• Next steps: Enable branching detection in framework, and test on vessel segmentation.
