Project Title: Obtaining and evaluation of Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) segmentation masks

Key Investigators

  • BWH: Tina Kapur, Andriy Fedorov, Rivka Colen
  • University Hospital of Marburg: Jan Egger, Christopher Nimsky


Objective

This project aims to obtain Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) segmentation masks that have been generated by a physician using GrowCut and semi-automated segmentation tools under the medical platform 3D Slicer. Afterwards, the segmentation results are compared via the Dice Similarity Coefficient (DSC) to pure manual slice by slice segmentations.

Approach, Plan

GBM segmentation with Slicer by a trained physician. Measuring segmentation time.
