Objective
The goal of this project is to investigate efficient (less than 30s) methods for segmentation of bladder from MRI images of the female pelvis in Slicer.
Approach, Plan
We will explore different segmentation/editing tools in Slicer to determine which ones can most efficiently segment the bladder from MRI images of the female pelvis. Tools anticipated use include Growcut, Draw, and Crop.
Progress
Tools previously mentioned were successfully used to segment out the bladder from MRI images, and 3D images were rendered as a result. Three tutorial modules were created outlining the mechanism of execution, included in this page. Further segmentation efforts will be conducted on different data sets.
