Objective
- Segment calcium plaques
- Calculate a calcium score and label statistics
- Complete tutorial
Approach, Plan
- Threshold cardiac CT using minimum intensity threshold
- Use SimpleITK to calculate Agatston scores and label statists
Progress
- Added the module as an extension to the Extension Manager in Slicer builds after 06-25-14
- Mostly finished the extension tutorial
- Presented tutorial in the tutorial contest
