- Visualization and validation of segmentation
Key Investigators
- Utah: Bo Wang, Marcel Prastawa, and Guido Gerig
- UCLA: Andrei Irimia, Micah Chambers, Jack Van Horn and Paul M. Vespa
- Kitware: Danielle Pace, Stephen Aylward
Objective
- Define manual segmentation protocol for MR images of TBI
- Validate the segmentation of the algorithm
- Visualize volume changes, deformation field
Approach, Plan
Our plan for the project week:
- Work with collaborators to define manual segmentation protocol
- Compare the independent segmentation and joint segmentation
- Visualize volume changes and deformation field according to clinicians' requirements.
Progress
- Summarized the rule the clinician used to do manual segmentation
- Compared the result of the algorithm with clinician's manual segmentation
- Explored different ways to visualize the volume changes/deformation field, we tried the following methods.
- Jacobian determinant
- Vector magnitude
