Key Investigators

- Northwestern U: Pat Mongklowat
- Kitware: JC
Objective
As part of BWH QIN project, we are working on implementing support for
- organizing Slicer markup and annotations into hierarchies to maintain their relationship with the original volumes
- export these hierarchies and Slicer internal data structures into other formats (e.g., AIM)
This development is currently happening within Reporting module (available on github).
Approach, Plan
- present the capabilities of the Reporting module to the interested groups
- discuss the missing features and roadmap for future development
- cross-check with the AIM experts (Pat) that the AIM output is correct
- discuss the possibility of integrating Reporting module with the native AIM API, which is currently under development by Pat Mongklowat's group
- consider integrating Reporting as an extension
- discuss how support of DICOM SEG should be integrated into Slicer
- connection/extension of DICOM SEG and the lookup table concept of Slicer
Progress
- we worked on integrating the Reporting module as a Slicer extension
- work is taking place in the git branch here: https://github.com/fedorov/Reporting/tree/extension
- application key has been obtained following the guidelines
- Reporting extension ExperimentalUpload build has been accomplished and the packaged extension has been uploaded: http://slicer.cdash.org/buildSummary.php?buildid=25213
- issue has been identified in testing infrastructure that causes unit test to crash, fixed by JC http://www.na-mic.org/Bug/view.php?id=2248
- it was identified that loading DICOM scalar volumes leads to a crash, preventing the use of Reporting module, bug report submitted: http://www.na-mic.org/Bug/view.php?id=2241
- another related bug submitted: http://www.na-mic.org/Bug/view.php?id=2251
- integration of DICOM SEG support has been discussed as part of DICOM breakout (see notes here: 2012_Summer_Project_Week_Breakout_Session:Slicer_DICOM)
- we worked on compiling AIM 3.0 API on Mac, but not succeeded
- discussed with the AIM experts the details of saving annotations: only one annotation and image reference should be saved per AIM file, if the AIM format is to be followed precisely
Delivery Mechanism
Reporting module is available as a Slicer4 loadable module, source code available on github: https://github.com/fedorov/Reporting
