Overview
THIS PAGE IS UNDER CONSTRUCTION -- CHECK BACK OFTEN!
ChangeTracker is a 3D Slicer GUI module for monitoring slowly evolving tumors. This page will host the relevant information about ChangeTracker.
What's New
- Nov 21, 2008, ChangeTracker now uses Linear registration command module for rigid registration.
Background
User information / Tutorials
Technical details
Bugs / Known issues
- during "Analysis type step", Slicer crashes if "Analyze" button is hit more than once
- registration of a new volume node with the scene results in update of the slice views
- incorrect setting of the registration parameters results in registration producing empty volume, no error messages from the module: Current implementation of CommandLineModule does not evaluate return value from the module entry point. Module error handling needs to be re-examined. Posted request to slicer-devel
- need to investigate reproducibility of registration and impact of the random seed initialization: Linear registration updated with metric seed reinitialization
- investigate reasons for segfault with the weird dataset from Yanling
- check and clean up file output procedures (..-TG directories)
Feature requests/Features under development
- multi-color volume rendering for tumor growth results
- use Compare view
- 3d box widget for ROI selection
- analysis of multiple time points
- testing
- Jean-Jacques Lemaire: would be nice to combine growth results with the 3D rendering of the estimated tumor volume
- Jean-Jacques Lemaire: improve user interface for tumor boundary identification -- something missing in the existing tools; would like to see better robustness of segmentation
