Project Description

NeedleFinder offers tools to segment needles from MRI/CT. It has been mostly tested on MRI from GYN brachytherapy cases. Currently the user must provide the needle for the segmentation to start. We aim to detect the tip automatically to make the needle segmentation fully automatic

Objective

  • Tip detection

Approach, Plan

  • Develop a detection method based on Gaussian Mixture Models for different spaces: inputs: intensity, Frangi's filter, needle-tip cross-correlation, Hough transform
  • Integrate algorithm to Slicer.
