= Modeling tumor growth in patients with glioma =&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Multimodal_glioma.png|thumb|left|300px| Figure 1: Multi-modal image data from a patient with low-grade glioma. A large number of different modalities and derived parameter volumes are acquired during the monitoring of tumor growth.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We are interested in developing computational methods for the assimilation of magnetic resonance image data into physiological models of glioma - the most frequent primary brain tumor - for a patient-adaptive modeling of tumor growth.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This aims at two directions: First, it aims at making complex information from longitudinal multi-modal data set accessible for diagnostic radiology through physiological models. This will allow us to estimate features such as degree of infiltration, speed of growth, or mass effect in a quantitative fashion; for therapy it will allow us to identify regions at risk for progression. Second, it aims at providing the means to test different macroscopic tumor models from theoretical biology on real clinical data.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The project has three main aims: 1) the automated segmentation of tumors in large multi-modal image data sets to make information of different MR image modalities accessible for the tumor model,  2) the development of methods for the image-based estimation of parameters in reaction-diffusion type models of tumor growth, and 3) the processing and analysis of magnetic resonance spectroscopic images (MRSI) as a potential application of the tumor model.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
To segment all MR image volumes available for a patient we developed an approach for learning patient-specific lesion atlases (Figure 2) with limited user interaction. Figure 2 shows the manual segmentation of the tumor from different raters (red, green, blue) and the automatic segmentation using the patient-specific lesion atlas (black) in T1-MRI, T1-MRI and the fractional anisotropy map from DTI. &lt;br /&gt;

All tumors have the same size, they vary in Diffusivity 'D' and proliferation 'rho'. In our approach this shape information is used to infer general properties of the tumor.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We propose a joint generative model of tumor growth and of image observation that naturally handles multi-modal and longitudinal data. We use the model for analyzing imaging data in patients with glioma. The tumor growth model is based on a Fisher-Kolmogorov reaction-diffusion framework. Model personalization relies only on a forward model for the growth process and on image likelihood. We take advantage of an adaptive sparse grid approximation for efficient inference via Markov Chain Monte Carlo sampling. The approach can be used for integrating information from different multi-modal imaging protocols and can easily be adapted to other tumor growth models.&lt;br /&gt;

Figure 4 illustrates the adaptive grid sampling of the parameter space for a modeled tumor. The size of the green sampling points indicates how often the indicated location parameter of the tumor model was evaluated under different parametrizations. The ground truth is indicated by the pink cross. Most adaptively chosen sampling points are close to the ground truth. The figure also shows isolines of tumor cell density (red), the predicted extensions of the T2 hyper-intense area (yellow) and tissue boundaries (black).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Figure 5 shows results of the proposed approach: Green samples are obtained from the proposed sparse grid approach while blue sample are obtained via standard MCMC. Black circles indicate means of the two distributions. Ground truth for A and B are indicated by the pink cross. In D the previously estimated speed of growth [7] is shown by the pink line. The sparse grid sampling approximation performs better than the direct MCMC (A-B). Estimates correlate well with priviously published results, but provide a more accurate characterization of the state of disease (D).&lt;br /&gt;

To segment all MR image volumes available for a patient we developed an approach for learning patient-specific lesion atlases (Figure 2) with limited user interaction. Figure 2 shows the manual segmentation of the tumor from different raters (red, green, blue) and the automatic segmentation using the patient-specific lesion atlas (black) in T1-MRI, T1-MRI and the fractional anisotropy map from DTI. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
We propose a joint generative model of tumor growth and of image observation that naturally handles multi-modal and longitudinal data. We use the model for analyzing imaging data in patients with glioma. The tumor growth model is based on a Fisher-Kolmogorov reaction-diffusion framework. Model personalization relies only on a forward model for the growth process and on image likelihood. We take advantage of an adaptive sparse grid approximation for efficient inference via Markov Chain Monte Carlo sampling. The approach can be used for integrating information from different multi-modal imaging protocols and can easily be adapted to other tumor growth models.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Figure 4 illustrates the adaptive grid sampling of the parameter space for a modeled tumor. The size of the green sampling points indicates how often the indicated location parameter of the tumor model was evaluated under different parametrizations. The ground truth is indicated by the pink cross. Most adaptively chosen sampling points are close to the ground truth. The figure also shows isolines of tumor cell density (red), the predicted extensions of the T2 hyper-intense area (yellow) and tissue boundaries (black).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Figure 5 shows results of the proposed approach: Green samples are obtained from the proposed sparse grid approach while blue sample are obtained via standard MCMC. Black circles indicate means of the two distributions. Ground truth for A and B are indicated by the pink cross. In D the previously estimated speed of growth [7] is shown by the pink line. The sparse grid sampling approximation performs better than the direct MCMC (A-B). Estimates correlate well with priviously published results, but provide a more accurate characterization of the state of disease (D).&lt;br /&gt;

= Modeling tumor growth in patients with glioma =&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Multimodal_glioma.png|thumb|left|300px| Figure 1: Multi-modal image data from a patient with low-grade glioma. A large number of different modalities and derived parameter volumes are acquired during the monitoring of tumor growth.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We are interested in developing computational methods for the assimilation of magnetic resonance image data into physiological models of glioma - the most frequent primary brain tumor - for a patient-adaptive modeling of tumor growth.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This aims at two directions: First, it aims at making complex information from longitudinal multi-modal data set accessible for diagnostic radiology through physiological models. This will allow us to estimate features such as degree of infiltration, speed of growth, or mass effect in a quantitative fashion; for therapy it will allow us to identify regions at risk for progression. Second, it aims at providing the means to test different macroscopic tumor models from theoretical biology on real clinical data.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The project has three main aims: 1) the automated segmentation of tumors in large multi-modal image data sets to make information of different MR image modalities accessible for the tumor model,  2) the development of methods for the image-based estimation of parameters in reaction-diffusion type models of tumor growth, and 3) the processing and analysis of magnetic resonance spectroscopic images (MRSI) as a potential application of the tumor model.&lt;br /&gt;

= Modeling tumor growth in patients with glioma =&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Multimodal_glioma.png|thumb|left|350px| Figure 1: Multi-modal image data from a patient with low-grade glioma. A large number of different modalities and derived parameter volumes are acquired during the monitoring of tumor growth.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We are interested in developing computational methods for the assimilation of magnetic resonance image data into physiological models of glioma - the most frequent primary brain tumor - for a patient-adaptive modeling of tumor growth.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This aims at two directions: First, it aims at making complex information from longitudinal multimodal data set accessible for diagnostic radiology through physiological models. This will allow to estimate features such as degree of infiltration, speed of growth, or mass effect in a quantitative fashion; for therapy it will allow to identify regions at risk for progression. Second, it aims at providing the means to test different macroscopic tumor models from theoretical biology on real clinical data.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To realize these aims, the project comprises a number of aspects -- automated segmentation of tumors in large multimodal image data sets, making information of different MR image modalities accessible for the tumor model, with a focus on the processing of magnetic resonance spectroscopic images (MRSI), and the development of methods for the image-based estimation of parameters in reaction-diffusion type models of tumor growth.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
To segment all MR image volumes available for a patient we developed an approach for learning patient-specific lesion atlases (Figure 2) with limited user interaction. Figure 2 shows the manual segmentation of the tumor from different raters (red, green, blue) and the automatic segmentation using the patient-specific lesion atlas (black) in T1-MRI, T1-MRI and the fractional anisotropy map from DTI. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
We propose a joint generative model of tumor growth and of image observation that naturally handles multi-modal and longitudinal data. We use the model for analyzing imaging data in patients with glioma. The tumor growth model is based on a Fisher-Kolmogorov reaction-diffusion framework. Model personalization relies only on a forward model for the growth process and on image likelihood. We take advantage of an adaptive sparse grid approximation for efficient inference via Markov Chain Monte Carlo sampling. The approach can be used for integrating information from different multi-modal imaging protocols and can easily be adapted to other tumor growth models.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Figure 4 illustrates results of the proposed approach: Green samples are obtained from the proposed sparse grid approach while blue sample are obtaine via standard MCMC. Black circles indicate means of the two distributions. Ground truth for A and B are indicated by the pink cross. In D the previously estimated speed of growth [7] is shown by the pink line. The sparse grid sampling approximation performs better than the direct MCMC (A-B). Estimates correlate well with privously published results, but provide a more accurate characterization of the state of disease (D).&lt;br /&gt;

Our group seeks to model statistical variability of anatomy and function across subjects and between populations and to utilize computational models of such variability to improve predictions for individual subjects, as well as characterize populations. Our long-term goal is to develop methods for joint modeling of anatomy and function and to apply them in clinical and scientific studies. We work primarily with anatomical, DTI and fMRI images. We actively contribute implementations of our algorithms to the NAMIC-kit.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Spatial priors, such as probabilistic atlases, play an important role in MRI segmentation. The atlases are typically generated by averaging manual labels of aligned brain regions across different subjects. However, the availability of comprehensive, reliable and suitable manual segmentations is limited. We therefore propose a joint segmentation of corresponding, aligned structures in the entire population that does not require a probability atlas. &lt;br /&gt;

One of the major goals in the analysis of fMRI data is the detection of networks in the brain with similar functional behavior. A wide variety of methods including hypothesis-driven statistical tests, supervised, and unsupervised learning methods have been employed to find these networks. In this project, we develop novel learning algorithms that enable more efficient inferences from fMRI measurements.    [[Projects:fMRIClustering|More...]] &lt;br /&gt;

We extend a previously demonstrated entropy based groupwise registration method to include a free-form deformation model based on B-splines. We provide an efficient implementation using stochastic gradient descents in a multi-resolution setting. We demonstrate the method in application to a set of 50 MRI brain scans and compare the results to a pairwise approach using segmentation labels to evaluate the quality of alignment.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In a related project,  we develop a method that reconciles the practical advantages of symmetric registration with the asymmetric nature of image-template registration by adding a simple correction factor to the symmetric cost function. We instantiate our model within a log-domain diffeomorphic registration framework. Our experiments show exploiting the asymmetry in image-template registration improves alignment in the image coordinates. [[Projects:GroupwiseRegistration|More...]]&lt;br /&gt;

We propose a unified framework for computing atlases from manually labeled data sets at various degrees of “sharpness” and the joint registration and segmentation of a new brain with these atlases. Using this framework, we investigate the tradeoff between warp regularization and image ﬁdelity, i.e. the smoothness of the new subject warp and the sharpness of the atlas in a segmentation application.&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;h3&amp;gt;Objective&amp;lt;/h3&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Magnetic resonance spectroscopic imaging (MRSI) is a non-invasive diagnostic method used to determine the relative abundance of specific metabolites at arbitrary locations in vivo. Certain diseases -- such as tumors in brain, breast and prostate -- can be can be associated with characteristic changes in the metabolic level. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The objective of the current project is to develop a module proving the means for the processing and visualization of MRSI -- and thus for a joint analysis of magnetic resonance spectroscopic images together with other imaging modalities -- in Slicer.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div style=&amp;quot;width: 30%; float: left; padding-right: 2%;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;h3&amp;gt;Approach, Plan&amp;lt;/h3&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Spectral fitting routines have been implemented, using a HSVD filter for water peak removal and baseline estimation, and a constrained non-linear least squares optimization for the fit of the resonance line models. Current fitting routines require, however, several external software libraries not to be distributed, installed and used easily.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We want to integrate the [http://wiki.na-mic.org/Wiki/index.php/2010_WinterProject_Week_MRSIModule  currently] available MRSI quantitation routines with the [http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/sivic/ SIVIC] Slicer interface developed at the UCSF.&lt;br /&gt;
More specifically we want to integrate the previously developed signal processing routines (Fig. 1) into the svk library of the SIVIC framework, and realize the joint display of metabolic maps (Fig. 2) and spectral information (Fig. 3) within the current prototype of the Slicer module.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div style=&amp;quot;width: 35%; float: left;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;h3&amp;gt;Progress&amp;lt;/h3&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* We implemented a basic quantification algorithm (Fig. 4) integrating over predefined spectral regions and made progress towards implementing the other fitting routines. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Metabolic maps generated in SLICER can now be displayed (Fig. 4).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The display of individual spectra in SLICER now also supports multiple traces from the spectral fitting (Fig. 5).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* We improved the integration of SIVIC with SLICER through a better use of the MRML architecture.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;h3&amp;gt;Objective&amp;lt;/h3&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Magnetic resonance spectroscopic imaging (MRSI) is a non-invasive diagnostic method used to determine the relative abundance of specific metabolites at arbitrary locations in vivo. Certain diseases -- such as tumors in brain, breast and prostate -- can be can be associated with characteristic changes in the metabolic level. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The objective of the current project is to develop a module proving the means for the processing and visualization of MRSI -- and thus for a joint analysis of magnetic resonance spectroscopic images together with other imaging modalities -- in Slicer.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div style=&amp;quot;width: 30%; float: left; padding-right: 2%;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;h3&amp;gt;Approach, Plan&amp;lt;/h3&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Spectral fitting routines have been implemented, using a HSVD filter for water peak removal and baseline estimation, and a constrained non-linear least squares optimization for the fit of the resonance line models. Current fitting routines require, however, several external software libraries not to be distributed, installed and used easily.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We want to integrate the [http://wiki.na-mic.org/Wiki/index.php/2010_WinterProject_Week_MRSIModule  currently] available MRSI quantitation routines with the [http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/sivic/ SIVIC] Slicer interface developed at the UCSF.&lt;br /&gt;
More specifically we want to integrate the previously developed signal processing routines (Fig. 1) into the svk library of the SIVIC framework, and realize the joint display of metabolic maps (Fig. 2) and spectral information (Fig. 3) within the current prototype of the Slicer module.&lt;br /&gt;

Please [[AHM_2011#Agenda|click here for the agenda for AHM 2011 and Project Week]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Background==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
From January 10-14, 2011, the twelfth project week for hands-on research and development activity in Image-Guided Therapy and Neuroscience applications will be hosted in Salt Lake City, Utah. Participant engage in open source programming using the [[NA-MIC-Kit|NA-MIC Kit]], algorithms, medical imaging sequence development, tracking experiments, and clinical applications. The main goal of this event is to further the translational research deliverables of the sponsoring centers ([http://www.na-mic.org NA-MIC], [http://www.ncigt.org NCIGT], [http://nac.spl.harvard.edu NAC], [http://catalyst.harvard.edu/home.html Harvard Catalyst], and [http://www.cimit.org CIMIT]) and their collaborators by identifying and solving programming problems during planned and ad hoc break-out sessions.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Active preparation for this conference begins with a kick-off teleconference. Invitations to this call are sent to members of the sponsoring communities, their collaborators, past attendees of the event, as well as any parties expressing an interest in working with these centers. The main goal of the initial teleconference is to gather information about which groups/projects would be active at the upcoming event to ensure that there were sufficient resources available to meet everyone's needs. Focused discussions about individual projects are conducted during several subsequent teleconferences and permits the hosts to finalize the project teams, consolidate any common components, and identify topics that should be discussed in break-out sessions. In the final days leading up to the meeting, all project teams are asked to complete a template page on the wiki describing the objectives and research plan for each project.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On the first day of the conference, each project team leader delivers a short presentation to introduce their topic and individual members of their team. These brief presentations serve to both familiarize other teams doing similar work about common problems or practical solutions, and to identify potential subsets of individuals who might benefit from collaborative work.  For the remainder of the conference, about 50% time is devoted to break-out discussions on topics of common interest to particular subsets and 50% to hands-on project work.  For hands-on project work, attendees are organized into 30-50 small teams comprised of 2-4 individuals with a mix of multi-disciplinary expertise.  To facilitate this work, a large room is setup with ample work tables, internet connection, and power access. This enables each computer software development-based team to gather on a table with their individual laptops, connect to the internet, download their software and data, and work on specific projects.  On the final day of the event, each project team summarizes their accomplishments in a closing presentation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
#Please make sure that you are on the [http://public.kitware.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/na-mic-project-week na-mic-project-week mailing list] &lt;br /&gt;
#Starting Thursday, October 28th, part of the weekly Thursday 3pm NA-MIC Engineering TCON will be used to prepare for this meeting.  The schedule for these preparatory calls is as follows:&lt;br /&gt;
#*October 28: Engineering Infrastructure Projects&lt;br /&gt;
#*November 4: Engineering Infrastructure Projects&lt;br /&gt;
#*November 11: DPB Projects: Iowa, Outcomes from Alg Core Retreat &lt;br /&gt;
#*November 18: DPB Projects: MGH &lt;br /&gt;
#*November 25:  DBP Projects, Funded External Collaborations&lt;br /&gt;
#*December 2: Funded External Collaborations&lt;br /&gt;
#*December 9: Other External Collaborations&lt;br /&gt;
#*December 16:Finalize Engineering Projects &lt;br /&gt;
#*January 6: Loose Ends&lt;br /&gt;
#By December 16, 2010: [[Project_Week/Template|Complete a templated wiki page for your project]]. Please do not edit the template page itself, but create a new page for your project and cut-and-paste the text from this template page.  If you have questions, please send an email to tkapur at bwh.harvard.edu.&lt;br /&gt;
#By December 16, 2010: Create a directory for each project on the [[Engineering:SandBox|NAMIC Sandbox]] (Zack)&lt;br /&gt;
##[https://www.kitware.com/Admin/SendPassword.cgi Ask Zack for a Sandbox account]&lt;br /&gt;
##Commit on each sandbox directory the code examples/snippets that represent our first guesses of appropriate methods. (Luis and Steve will help with this, as needed)&lt;br /&gt;
##Gather test images in any of the Data sharing resources we have (e.g. the BIRN). These ones don't have to be many. At least three different cases, so we can get an idea of the modality-specific characteristics of these images. Put the IDs of these data sets on the wiki page. (the participants must do this.)&lt;br /&gt;
##Setup nightly tests on a separate Dashboard, where we will run the methods that we are experimenting with. The test should post result images and computation time. (Zack)&lt;br /&gt;
#Please note that by the time we get to the project event, we should be trying to close off a project milestone rather than starting to work on one...&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
==Project==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div style=&amp;quot;margin: 10px;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div style=&amp;quot;width: 30%; float: left; padding-right: 2%;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;h3&amp;gt;Objective&amp;lt;/h3&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Magnetic resonance spectroscopic imaging (MRSI) is a non-invasive diagnostic method used to determine the relative abundance of specific metabolites at arbitrary locations in vivo. Certain diseases -- such as tumors in brain, breast and prostate -- can be can be associated with characteristic changes in the metabolic level. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The objective of the current project is to develop a module proving the means for the processing and visualization of MRSI -- and thus for a joint analysis of magnetic resonance spectroscopic images together with other imaging modalities -- in Slicer.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div style=&amp;quot;width: 30%; float: left; padding-right: 2%;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;h3&amp;gt;Approach, Plan&amp;lt;/h3&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Spectral fitting routines have been implemented, using a HSVD filter for water peak removal and baseline estimation, and a constrained non-linear least squares optimization for the fit of the resonance line models. Current fitting routines require, however, several external software libraries not to be distributed, installed and used easily.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We want to integrate the [http://wiki.na-mic.org/Wiki/index.php/2010_WinterProject_Week_MRSIModule  currently] available MRSI quantitation routines with the [http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/sivic/ SIVIC] Slicer interface developed at the UCSF.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div style=&amp;quot;width: 35%; float: left;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;h3&amp;gt;Progress&amp;lt;/h3&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
We approached the integration from two sides:&lt;br /&gt;
* We integrated one of the two MRSI signal processing routines (Fig. 1) into a svk/SIVIC library prototype class.&lt;br /&gt;
* We integrated the SIVIC visualization routines into Slicer (Fig. 3, screenshot below) as a prototype module.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Further steps will comprise the full integration of the signal processing routines, and the joint display of metabolic maps (Fig. 2) and spectral information within the Slicer module.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

==Project==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div style=&amp;quot;margin: 10px;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;h3&amp;gt;Objective&amp;lt;/h3&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Magnetic resonance spectroscopic imaging (MRSI) is a non-invasive diagnostic method used to determine the relative abundance of specific metabolites at arbitrary locations in vivo. Certain diseases -- such as tumors in brain, breast and prostate -- can be can be associated with characteristic changes in the metabolic level. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The objective of the current project is to develop a module proving the means for the processing and visualization of MRSI -- and thus for a joint analysis of magnetic resonance spectroscopic images together with other imaging modalities -- in Slicer.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div style=&amp;quot;width: 30%; float: left; padding-right: 2%;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;h3&amp;gt;Approach, Plan&amp;lt;/h3&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Spectral fitting routines have been implemented, using a HSVD filter for water peak removal and baseline estimation, and a constrained non-linear least squares optimization for the fit of the resonance line models. Current fitting routines require, however, several external software libraries not to be distributed, installed and used easily.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We want to integrate the [http://wiki.na-mic.org/Wiki/index.php/2010_WinterProject_Week_MRSIModule  currently] available MRSI quantitation routines with the [http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/sivic/ SIVIC] Slicer interface developed at the UCSF.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div style=&amp;quot;width: 35%; float: left;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;h3&amp;gt;Progress&amp;lt;/h3&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
We approached the integration from two sides:&lt;br /&gt;
* We integrated one of the two MRSI signal processing routines (Fig. 1, above) into a svk/SIVIC library prototype class.&lt;br /&gt;
* We integrated the SIVIC visualization routines into Slicer 3.7 (Fig. 3, below) as a prototype module.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Further steps will comprise the full integration of the signal processing routines, and the joint display of fitting results (as in Fig. 2) and spectral information within the Slicer module.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:PW-MIT2010.png|300px]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Background==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We are pleased to announce the 11th PROJECT WEEK of hands-on research and development activity for applications in Image-Guided Therapy, Neuroscience, and several additional areas of biomedical research that enable personalized medicine. Participants will engage in open source programming using the [[NA-MIC-Kit|NA-MIC Kit]], algorithm design, medical imaging sequence development, tracking experiments, and clinical application. The main goal of this event is to move forward the translational research deliverables of the sponsoring centers and their collaborators. Active and potential collaborators are encouraged and welcome to attend this event. This event will be set up to maximize informal interaction between participants.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Active preparation begins on Thursday, April 15th at 3pm ET, with a kick-off teleconference.  Invitations to this call will be sent to members of the sponsoring communities, their collaborators, past attendees of the event, as well as any parties who have expressed an interest in working with these centers. The main goal of the kick-off call is to get an idea of which groups/projects will be active at the upcoming event, and to ensure that there is sufficient coverage for all. Subsequent teleconferences will allow for more focused discussions on individual projects and allow the hosts to finalize the project teams, consolidate any common components, and identify topics that should be discussed in breakout sessions. In the final days leading upto the meeting, all project teams will be asked to fill in a template page on this wiki that describes the objectives and plan of their projects.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The event itself will start off with a short presentation by each project team, driven using their previously created description, and will help all participants get acquainted with others who are doing similar work. In the rest of the week, about half the time will be spent in breakout discussions on topics of common interest of subsets of the attendees, and the other half will be spent in project teams, doing hands-on project work.  The hands-on activities will be done in 30-50 small teams of size 2-4, each with a mix of multi-disciplinary expertise.  To facilitate this work, a large room at MIT will be setup with several tables, with internet and power access, and each computer software development based team will gather on a table with their individual laptops, connect to the internet to download their software and data, and be able to work on their projects.  Teams working on projects that require the use of medical devices will proceed to Brigham and Women's Hospital and carry out their experiments there. On the last day of the event, a closing presentation session will be held in which each project team will present a summary of what they accomplished during the week.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This event is part of the translational research efforts of [http://www.na-mic.org NA-MIC], [http://www.ncigt.org NCIGT], [http://nac.spl.harvard.edu/ NAC], [http://catalyst.harvard.edu/home.html Harvard Catalyst], and [http://www.cimit.org CIMIT].  It is an expansion of the NA-MIC Summer Project Week that has been held annually since 2005. It will be held every summer at MIT and Brigham and Womens Hospital in Boston, typically during the last full week of June, and in Salt Lake City in the winter, typically during the second week of January.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A summary of all past NA-MIC Project Events is available [[Project_Events#Past|here]].&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
# Please make sure that you are on the http://public.kitware.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/na-mic-project-week mailing list&lt;br /&gt;
# The NA-MIC engineering team will be discussing infrastructure projects in a kickoff TCON on April 15, 3pm ET.  In the weeks following, new and old participants from the above mailing list will be invited to join to discuss their projects, so please make sure you are on it!&lt;br /&gt;
# By 3pm ET on June 10, 2009: [[Project_Week/Template|Complete a templated wiki page for your project]]. Please do not edit the template page itself, but create a new page for your project and cut-and-paste the text from this template page.  If you have questions, please send an email to tkapur at bwh.harvard.edu.&lt;br /&gt;
# By 3pm on June 17, 2010: Create a directory for each project on the [[Engineering:SandBox|NAMIC Sandbox]] (Zack)&lt;br /&gt;
## Commit on each sandbox directory the code examples/snippets that represent our first guesses of appropriate methods. (Luis and Steve will help with this, as needed)&lt;br /&gt;
## Gather test images in any of the Data sharing resources we have (e.g. XNAT/MIDAS). These ones don't have to be many. At least three different cases, so we can get an idea of the modality-specific characteristics of these images. Put the IDs of these data sets on the wiki page. (the participants must do this.)&lt;br /&gt;
## Setup nightly tests on a separate Dashboard, where we will run the methods that we are experimenting with. The test should post result images and computation time. (Zack)&lt;br /&gt;
# Please note that by the time we get to the project event, we should be trying to close off a project milestone rather than starting to work on one...&lt;br /&gt;
# People doing Slicer related projects should come to project week with slicer built on your laptop.&lt;br /&gt;
## Projects to develop extension modules should work with the [http://viewvc.slicer.org/viewcvs.cgi/branches/Slicer-3-6/#dirlist Slicer-3-6 branch] (new code should not be checked into the branch).&lt;br /&gt;
## Projects to modify core behavior of slicer should be done on the [http://viewvc.slicer.org/viewcvs.cgi/trunk/ trunk].&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;h3&amp;gt;Objective&amp;lt;/h3&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Magnetic resonance spectroscopic imaging (MRSI) is a non-invasive diagnostic method used to determine the relative abundance of specific metabolites at arbitrary locations in vivo. Certain diseases -- such as tumors in brain, breast and prostate -- can be can be associated with characteristic changes in the metabolic level. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The objective of the current project is to develop a module proving the means for the processing and visualization of MRSI -- and thus for a joint analysis of magnetic resonance spectroscopic images together with other imaging modalities -- in Slicer.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div style=&amp;quot;width: 30%; float: left; padding-right: 2%;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;h3&amp;gt;Approach, Plan&amp;lt;/h3&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Spectral fitting routines have been implemented, using a HSVD filter for water peak removal and baseline estimation, and a constrained non-linear least squares optimization for the fit of the resonance line models. Current fitting routines require, however, several external software libraries not to be distributed, installed and used easily.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We want to integrate the [[http://wiki.na-mic.org/Wiki/index.php/2010_WinterProject_Week_MRSIModule | currently]] available MRSI quantitation routines with the [http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/sivic/ | SIVIC] Slicer interface  developed at the UCSF.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Background==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We are pleased to announce the 11th PROJECT WEEK of hands-on research and development activity for applications in Image-Guided Therapy, Neuroscience, and several additional areas of biomedical research that enable personalized medicine. Participants will engage in open source programming using the [[NA-MIC-Kit|NA-MIC Kit]], algorithm design, medical imaging sequence development, tracking experiments, and clinical application. The main goal of this event is to move forward the translational research deliverables of the sponsoring centers and their collaborators. Active and potential collaborators are encouraged and welcome to attend this event. This event will be set up to maximize informal interaction between participants.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Active preparation begins on Thursday, April 15th at 3pm ET, with a kick-off teleconference.  Invitations to this call will be sent to members of the sponsoring communities, their collaborators, past attendees of the event, as well as any parties who have expressed an interest in working with these centers. The main goal of the kick-off call is to get an idea of which groups/projects will be active at the upcoming event, and to ensure that there is sufficient coverage for all. Subsequent teleconferences will allow for more focused discussions on individual projects and allow the hosts to finalize the project teams, consolidate any common components, and identify topics that should be discussed in breakout sessions. In the final days leading upto the meeting, all project teams will be asked to fill in a template page on this wiki that describes the objectives and plan of their projects.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The event itself will start off with a short presentation by each project team, driven using their previously created description, and will help all participants get acquainted with others who are doing similar work. In the rest of the week, about half the time will be spent in breakout discussions on topics of common interest of subsets of the attendees, and the other half will be spent in project teams, doing hands-on project work.  The hands-on activities will be done in 30-50 small teams of size 2-4, each with a mix of multi-disciplinary expertise.  To facilitate this work, a large room at MIT will be setup with several tables, with internet and power access, and each computer software development based team will gather on a table with their individual laptops, connect to the internet to download their software and data, and be able to work on their projects.  Teams working on projects that require the use of medical devices will proceed to Brigham and Women's Hospital and carry out their experiments there. On the last day of the event, a closing presentation session will be held in which each project team will present a summary of what they accomplished during the week.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This event is part of the translational research efforts of [http://www.na-mic.org NA-MIC], [http://www.ncigt.org NCIGT], [http://nac.spl.harvard.edu/ NAC], [http://catalyst.harvard.edu/home.html Harvard Catalyst], and [http://www.cimit.org CIMIT].  It is an expansion of the NA-MIC Summer Project Week that has been held annually since 2005. It will be held every summer at MIT and Brigham and Womens Hospital in Boston, typically during the last full week of June, and in Salt Lake City in the winter, typically during the second week of January.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A summary of all past NA-MIC Project Events is available [[Project_Events#Past|here]].&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Background==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We are pleased to announce the 11th PROJECT WEEK of hands-on research and development activity for applications in Image-Guided Therapy, Neuroscience, and several additional areas of biomedical research that enable personalized medicine. Participants will engage in open source programming using the [[NA-MIC-Kit|NA-MIC Kit]], algorithm design, medical imaging sequence development, tracking experiments, and clinical application. The main goal of this event is to move forward the translational research deliverables of the sponsoring centers and their collaborators. Active and potential collaborators are encouraged and welcome to attend this event. This event will be set up to maximize informal interaction between participants.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Active preparation begins on Thursday, April 15th at 3pm ET, with a kick-off teleconference.  Invitations to this call will be sent to members of the sponsoring communities, their collaborators, past attendees of the event, as well as any parties who have expressed an interest in working with these centers. The main goal of the kick-off call is to get an idea of which groups/projects will be active at the upcoming event, and to ensure that there is sufficient coverage for all. Subsequent teleconferences will allow for more focused discussions on individual projects and allow the hosts to finalize the project teams, consolidate any common components, and identify topics that should be discussed in breakout sessions. In the final days leading upto the meeting, all project teams will be asked to fill in a template page on this wiki that describes the objectives and plan of their projects.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The event itself will start off with a short presentation by each project team, driven using their previously created description, and will help all participants get acquainted with others who are doing similar work. In the rest of the week, about half the time will be spent in breakout discussions on topics of common interest of subsets of the attendees, and the other half will be spent in project teams, doing hands-on project work.  The hands-on activities will be done in 30-50 small teams of size 2-4, each with a mix of multi-disciplinary expertise.  To facilitate this work, a large room at MIT will be setup with several tables, with internet and power access, and each computer software development based team will gather on a table with their individual laptops, connect to the internet to download their software and data, and be able to work on their projects.  Teams working on projects that require the use of medical devices will proceed to Brigham and Women's Hospital and carry out their experiments there. On the last day of the event, a closing presentation session will be held in which each project team will present a summary of what they accomplished during the week.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This event is part of the translational research efforts of [http://www.na-mic.org NA-MIC], [http://www.ncigt.org NCIGT], [http://nac.spl.harvard.edu/ NAC], [http://catalyst.harvard.edu/home.html Harvard Catalyst], and [http://www.cimit.org CIMIT].  It is an expansion of the NA-MIC Summer Project Week that has been held annually since 2005. It will be held every summer at MIT and Brigham and Womens Hospital in Boston, typically during the last full week of June, and in Salt Lake City in the winter, typically during the second week of January.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A summary of all past NA-MIC Project Events is available [[Project_Events#Past|here]].&lt;br /&gt;

# Please make sure that you are on the http://public.kitware.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/na-mic-project-week mailing list&lt;br /&gt;
# The NA-MIC engineering team will be discussing infrastructure projects in a kickoff TCON on April 15, 3pm ET.  In the weeks following, new and old participants from the above mailing list will be invited to join to discuss their projects, so please make sure you are on it!&lt;br /&gt;
# By 3pm ET on June 10, 2009: [[Project_Week/Template|Complete a templated wiki page for your project]]. Please do not edit the template page itself, but create a new page for your project and cut-and-paste the text from this template page.  If you have questions, please send an email to tkapur at bwh.harvard.edu.&lt;br /&gt;
# By 3pm on June 17, 2010: Create a directory for each project on the [[Engineering:SandBox|NAMIC Sandbox]] (Zack)&lt;br /&gt;
## Commit on each sandbox directory the code examples/snippets that represent our first guesses of appropriate methods. (Luis and Steve will help with this, as needed)&lt;br /&gt;
## Gather test images in any of the Data sharing resources we have (e.g. XNAT/MIDAS). These ones don't have to be many. At least three different cases, so we can get an idea of the modality-specific characteristics of these images. Put the IDs of these data sets on the wiki page. (the participants must do this.)&lt;br /&gt;
## Setup nightly tests on a separate Dashboard, where we will run the methods that we are experimenting with. The test should post result images and computation time. (Zack)&lt;br /&gt;
# Please note that by the time we get to the project event, we should be trying to close off a project milestone rather than starting to work on one...&lt;br /&gt;
# People doing Slicer related projects should come to project week with slicer built on your laptop.&lt;br /&gt;
## Projects to develop extension modules should work with the [http://viewvc.slicer.org/viewcvs.cgi/branches/Slicer-3-6/#dirlist Slicer-3-6 branch] (new code should not be checked into the branch).&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Background==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We are pleased to announce the 11th PROJECT WEEK of hands-on research and development activity for applications in Image-Guided Therapy, Neuroscience, and several additional areas of biomedical research that enable personalized medicine. Participants will engage in open source programming using the [[NA-MIC-Kit|NA-MIC Kit]], algorithm design, medical imaging sequence development, tracking experiments, and clinical application. The main goal of this event is to move forward the translational research deliverables of the sponsoring centers and their collaborators. Active and potential collaborators are encouraged and welcome to attend this event. This event will be set up to maximize informal interaction between participants.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Active preparation begins on Thursday, April 15th at 3pm ET, with a kick-off teleconference.  Invitations to this call will be sent to members of the sponsoring communities, their collaborators, past attendees of the event, as well as any parties who have expressed an interest in working with these centers. The main goal of the kick-off call is to get an idea of which groups/projects will be active at the upcoming event, and to ensure that there is sufficient coverage for all. Subsequent teleconferences will allow for more focused discussions on individual projects and allow the hosts to finalize the project teams, consolidate any common components, and identify topics that should be discussed in breakout sessions. In the final days leading upto the meeting, all project teams will be asked to fill in a template page on this wiki that describes the objectives and plan of their projects.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The event itself will start off with a short presentation by each project team, driven using their previously created description, and will help all participants get acquainted with others who are doing similar work. In the rest of the week, about half the time will be spent in breakout discussions on topics of common interest of subsets of the attendees, and the other half will be spent in project teams, doing hands-on project work.  The hands-on activities will be done in 30-50 small teams of size 2-4, each with a mix of multi-disciplinary expertise.  To facilitate this work, a large room at MIT will be setup with several tables, with internet and power access, and each computer software development based team will gather on a table with their individual laptops, connect to the internet to download their software and data, and be able to work on their projects.  Teams working on projects that require the use of medical devices will proceed to Brigham and Women's Hospital and carry out their experiments there. On the last day of the event, a closing presentation session will be held in which each project team will present a summary of what they accomplished during the week.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This event is part of the translational research efforts of [http://www.na-mic.org NA-MIC], [http://www.ncigt.org NCIGT], [http://nac.spl.harvard.edu/ NAC], [http://catalyst.harvard.edu/home.html Harvard Catalyst], and [http://www.cimit.org CIMIT].  It is an expansion of the NA-MIC Summer Project Week that has been held annually since 2005. It will be held every summer at MIT and Brigham and Womens Hospital in Boston, typically during the last full week of June, and in Salt Lake City in the winter, typically during the second week of January.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A summary of all past NA-MIC Project Events is available [[Project_Events#Past|here]].&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
# Please make sure that you are on the http://public.kitware.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/na-mic-project-week mailing list&lt;br /&gt;
# The NA-MIC engineering team will be discussing infrastructure projects in a kickoff TCON on April 15, 3pm ET.  In the weeks following, new and old participants from the above mailing list will be invited to join to discuss their projects, so please make sure you are on it!&lt;br /&gt;
# By 3pm ET on June 10, 2009: [[Project_Week/Template|Complete a templated wiki page for your project]]. Please do not edit the template page itself, but create a new page for your project and cut-and-paste the text from this template page.  If you have questions, please send an email to tkapur at bwh.harvard.edu.&lt;br /&gt;
# By 3pm on June 17, 2010: Create a directory for each project on the [[Engineering:SandBox|NAMIC Sandbox]] (Zack)&lt;br /&gt;
## Commit on each sandbox directory the code examples/snippets that represent our first guesses of appropriate methods. (Luis and Steve will help with this, as needed)&lt;br /&gt;
## Gather test images in any of the Data sharing resources we have (e.g. XNAT/MIDAS). These ones don't have to be many. At least three different cases, so we can get an idea of the modality-specific characteristics of these images. Put the IDs of these data sets on the wiki page. (the participants must do this.)&lt;br /&gt;
## Setup nightly tests on a separate Dashboard, where we will run the methods that we are experimenting with. The test should post result images and computation time. (Zack)&lt;br /&gt;
# Please note that by the time we get to the project event, we should be trying to close off a project milestone rather than starting to work on one...&lt;br /&gt;
# People doing Slicer related projects should come to project week with slicer built on your laptop.&lt;br /&gt;
## Projects to develop extension modules should work with the [http://viewvc.slicer.org/viewcvs.cgi/branches/Slicer-3-6/#dirlist Slicer-3-6 branch] (new code should not be checked into the branch).&lt;br /&gt;
## Projects to modify core behavior of slicer should be done on the [http://viewvc.slicer.org/viewcvs.cgi/trunk/ trunk].&lt;br /&gt;

__NOTOC__&lt;br /&gt;
= Modeling tumor growth in patients with glioma =&lt;br /&gt;
We are interested in developing computational methods for the assimilation of magnetic resonance image data into physiological models of glioma - the most frequent primary brain tumor - for a patient-adaptive modeling of tumor growth.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This aims at two directions: First, it aims at making complex information from longitudinal multimodal data set accessible for diagnostic radiology through physiological models. This will allow to estimate features such as degree of infiltration, speed of growth, or mass effect in a quantitative fashion; for therapy it will allow to identify regions at risk for progression. Second, it aims at providing the means to test different mavroscopic tumor models from theoretical biology on real clinical data.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To realize these aims, the project comprises a number of ascpects -- automated segmentation of tumors in large multimodal image data sets, making information of different MR image modalities accessible for the tumor model, with a focus on the processing of magnetic resonance spectroscopic images (MRSI), and the development of methods for the image-based estimation of parameters in reaction-diffusion type models of tumor growth.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Multimodal_glioma.png|thumb|center|600px| Figure 1: Multi-modal image data from a patient with low-grade glioma. A large number of different modalities and derived parameter volumes are acquired during the monitoring of tumor growth.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Segmenting tumors in large multimodal data sets ==&lt;br /&gt;
To segment all MR image volumes available for a patient we developed an approach for learning patient-specific lesion atlases (Figure 2) with limited user interaction. Figure 2 shows the manual segmentation of the tumor from different raters (red, green, blue) and the automatic segmentation using the patient-specific lesion atlas (black) in T1-MRI, T1-MRI and the fractional anisotropy map from DTI. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
== Processing magnetic resonance spectroscopic images ==&lt;br /&gt;
To make the metabolic information of magnetic resonance spectroscopic images available for modeling the evolution of glioma growth we are implementing an [http://wiki.na-mic.org/Wiki/index.php/2009_Summer_Project_Week_MRSI-Module MRSI processing module] for Slicer.&lt;br /&gt;

= Modeling tumor growth in patients with glioma =&lt;br /&gt;
We are interested in developing computational methods for the assimilation of magnetic resonance image data into physiological models of glioma - the most frequent primary brain tumor - for a patient-adaptive modeling of tumor growth.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This aims at two directions: First, it aims at making complex information from longitudinal multimodal data set accessible for diagnostic radiology through physiological models. This will allow to estimate features such as degree of infiltration, speed of growth, or mass effect in a quantitative fashion; for therapy it will allow to identify regions at risk for progression. Second, it aims at providing the means to test different mavroscopic tumor models from theoretical biology on real clinical data.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To realize these aims, the project comprises a number of ascpects -- automated segmentation of tumors in large multimodal image data sets, making information of different MR image modalities accessible for the tumor model, with a focus on the processing of magnetic resonance spectroscopic images (MRSI), and the development of methods for the image-based estimation of parameters in reaction-diffusion type models of tumor growth.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
== Segmenting tumors in large multimodal data sets ==&lt;br /&gt;
To segment all MR image volumes available for a patient we developed an approach for learning patient-specific lesion atlases (Figure 2) with limited user interaction. Figure 2 shows the manual segmentation of the tumor from different raters (red, green, blue) and the automatic segmentation using the patient-specific lesion atlas (black) in T1-MRI, T1-MRI and the fractional anisotropy map from DTI. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
== Processing magnetic resonance spectroscopic images ==&lt;br /&gt;
To make the metabolic information of magnetic resonance spectroscopic images available for modeling the evolution of glioma growth we are implementing an [http://wiki.na-mic.org/Wiki/index.php/2009_Summer_Project_Week_MRSI-Module MRSI processing module] for Slicer.&lt;br /&gt;

= Joint Segmentation of Image Ensembles via Latent Atlases =&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Spatial priors, such as probabilistic atlases, play an important role&lt;br /&gt;
in MRI segmentation. The atlases are typically generated by&lt;br /&gt;
averaging manual labels of aligned brain regions across different&lt;br /&gt;
subjects. However, the availability of comprehensive, reliable and suitable&lt;br /&gt;
manual segmentations is limited. We therefore propose a joint segmentation of&lt;br /&gt;
corresponding, aligned structures in the entire population&lt;br /&gt;
that does not require a probability atlas.&lt;br /&gt;
Instead, a latent atlas, initialized by a single manual segmentation, is inferred from the evolving segmentations of the ensemble.&lt;br /&gt;
The proposed method is based on probabilistic principles but is solved using partial differential equations (PDEs)&lt;br /&gt;
and energy minimization criteria.&lt;br /&gt;
We evaluate the method by segmenting 50&lt;br /&gt;
brain MR volumes. Segmentation accuracy for cortical and subcortical&lt;br /&gt;
structures approaches the quality of state-of-the-art atlas-based segmentation results,&lt;br /&gt;
suggesting that the ''latent atlas'' method is a reasonable alternative when&lt;br /&gt;
existing atlases are not compatible with the data to be processed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
= Description =&lt;br /&gt;
Here we propose and demonstrate a method that does not use a set of&lt;br /&gt;
training images or probabilistic atlases as priors. Instead we extract an ensemble of corresponding structures&lt;br /&gt;
simultaneously. The evolving segmentation of the entire image set&lt;br /&gt;
supports each of the individual segmentations. In practice, a subset&lt;br /&gt;
of the model parameters, called the spatial parameters, is inferred&lt;br /&gt;
as part of the joint segmentation processes. These latent spatial&lt;br /&gt;
parameters, which can be viewed as a `dynamic atlas', are estimated exclusively&lt;br /&gt;
from the data at hand and a single manual segmentation.&lt;br /&gt;
The updated estimates of the latent atlas are used iteratively as Markov Random Field (MRF) priors on the tissue labels. The single node potentials term of the MRF model is formulated as a spatial constraint in a level-set functional for segmentation.&lt;br /&gt;
The main novelty of the suggested method with respect to other group-wise segmentation methods is the consistent statistically-driven variational framework for MR ensemble segmentation by estimating a latent atlas.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Results ==&lt;br /&gt;
We test the proposed approach on 50 MR&lt;br /&gt;
brain scans. Some of the subjects in this set are diagnosed with the first episode schizophrenia or affective disorder.&lt;br /&gt;
The MR images (T1, 256X256X128 volume, 0.9375 X 0.9375 X 1.5 mm&lt;br /&gt;
voxel size) were acquired by a 1.5-T General Electric Scanner.&lt;br /&gt;
In addition to the MR volumes, manual&lt;br /&gt;
segmentations of three structures (superior temporal&lt;br /&gt;
gyrus, amygdala, and hippocampus) in each hemisphere were provided&lt;br /&gt;
for each of the 50 individuals  and used to evaluate&lt;br /&gt;
the quality of the automatic segmentation results. MR images are preprocessed by skull stripping.&lt;br /&gt;
The volumes were aligned using B-spline registration.&lt;br /&gt;

Manual segmentation is shown in blue. Fourth column: Coronal views of the resulting atlases for each pair of structures.''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Brain Tumor Modeling ==&lt;br /&gt;
We have applied the proposed algorithm to a longitudinal multi-modal Patient specific brain scans for brain tumor segmentation and modeling. In this particular application the inferred spatial parameters estimate the patient's latent anatomy. No prior information is assumed but a couple of mouse clicks that define a sphere that initializes the segmentation of the first time point.

&amp;lt;h3&amp;gt;Objective&amp;lt;/h3&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Magnetic resonance spectroscopic imaging (MRSI) is a non-invasive diagnostic method used to determine the relative abundance of specific metabolites at arbitrary locations in vivo. Certain diseases -- such as tumors in brain, breast and prostate -- can be can be associated with characteristic changes in the metabolic level. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The objective of the current project is to develop a module proving the means for the processing and visualization of MRSI -- and thus for a joint analysis of magnetic resonance spectroscopic images together with other imaging modalities -- in Slicer.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div style=&amp;quot;width: 30%; float: left; padding-right: 2%;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;h3&amp;gt;Approach, Plan&amp;lt;/h3&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Spectral fitting routines have been implemented, using a HSVD filter for water peak removal and baseline estimation, and a constrained non-linear least squares optimization for the fit of the resonance line models. Current fitting routines require, however, several external software libraries not to be distributed, installed and used easily.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We want to find directions for either replacing these third-party libraries -- e.g. by using standard optimization routines from Python being available in Slicer -- or for making them easily available to the user of the module.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div style=&amp;quot;width: 35%; float: left;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;h3&amp;gt;Progress&amp;lt;/h3&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
We focused on the second option and investigated directions for using third party libraries from within Slicer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* We adapted the current MRSI processing routine to be separable into several sub-routines, each of which to be usable as external CLI module and depending on few (or single) external libraries only. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* We worked towards integrating an exemplary subroutine -- together with its external library -- as an external CLI module, potentially to be distributed as a Slicer Extension.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Separate subroutines can be integrated using a Slicer Wizard in accordance with the signal processing workflow (see ''Results'' figure above).&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;h3&amp;gt;Approach, Plan&amp;lt;/h3&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Spectral fitting routines have been implemented, using a HSVD filter for water peak removal and baseline estimation, and a constrained non-linear least squares optimization for the fit of the resonance line models. Current fitting routines require, however, several external software libraries not to be distributed, installed and used easily.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We want to find directions for either replacing these third-party libraries -- e.g. by using standard optimization routines from Python being available in Slicer -- or for making them easily available to the user of the module.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div style=&amp;quot;width: 35%; float: left;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;h3&amp;gt;Progress&amp;lt;/h3&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
We focused on the second option and investigated directions for using third party libraries from within Slicer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* We adapted the current MRSI processing routine to be separable into several sub-routines, each of which to be usable as external CLI module and depending on few (or single) external libraries only. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* We worked towards integrating an exemplary subroutine -- together with its external library -- as an external CLI module, potentially to be distributed as a Slicer Extension.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Separate subroutines can be integrated using a Slicer Wizard in accordance with the signal processing workflow (see ''Results'' figure above).&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;h3&amp;gt;Objective&amp;lt;/h3&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Magnetic resonance spectroscopic imaging (MRSI) is a non-invasive diagnostic method used to determine the relative abundance of specific metabolites at arbitrary locations in vivo. Certain diseases -- such as tumors in brain, breast and prostate -- can be can be associated with characteristic changes in the metabolic level. &lt;br /&gt;

The objective of the current project is to develop a module proving the means for the processing and visualization of MRSI -- and thus for a joint analysis of magnetic resonance spectroscopic images together with other imaging modalities -- in Slicer.&lt;br /&gt;
