Date: Thursday, May 5, 2011

Location: Surgery Education Office, Room CA-034, Carrie Hall, 15 Francis Street. ([[Media:Directions to CA-034 Carrie Hall 15 Francis Street Boston.doc|Directions]])

In addition, the following information is useful for first time visitors to the hospital:
*http://www.brighamandwomens.org/about_bwh/locations/directions/default.aspx
*On the "Pike map" PDF link (bottom of page), the Carrie Hall building is closest to the 15 Francis St entrance -- enter through the columns.
*On Google Street View/Map, the Carrie Hall building is near the label "Howard Hughes Medical Institute".

==Agenda==

*Continue presentations...
*2:30pm: Intro of afternoon objectives ('''Julian Rosenman''')
*2:45pm: What UNC/Boston system combinations ought to be developed -- the Boston perspective ('''Tina Kapur''')
*3pm: What Boston/UNC system combinations ought to be developed -- the UNC perspective ('''Steve Pizer''')
*3:30pm: Comments from Kitware about their capabilities relevant to proposed combinations ('''Brad Davis''')
*4-5pm
** Break and subgroup formation (e.g., merging surgical and radiation treatment planning system; 3D visualization software for treatment planning; image analysis software for treatment planning)
** Subgroups sketch out mechanics for collaborations (http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PAR-11-028.html?)

==Potential Areas of Collaboration==

#Multimodal registrations from BWH with PLUNC
#ITK needs GPU codes
#How to put UNC code into the open source world (from BWH experience)
#Visual bookmarks as cf. Slicer (scene views)
#Tolerance and other surface color washes on textured objects
#Endoscopy and 3D MR segmentation: cervix
#AMIGO w/ endoscopy
#AMIGO w/ curved needles
#Curved needles for biopsies
#Optical CT inclusion
#FEM modeling sharings between BWH and UNC
#Robotics and device tracking sharing: BWH has device tracking expertise: OPENIGT
#Shadie/MGRView or 3D PLUNC or 3D Slicer integration
#Adding cmake/software process to PLUNC
#Problem: how to integrate object-based coordinate systems into object models and integrate UI controls within those coordinate systems?
#MGRView w/ ray-cast volume rendering a la volview/vtk
#Inclusion of Ontario ARKit/SparKit? (adaptive RT)
#What can be taken from PLUNC into Slicer right away?
#There needs to be a remodeling of PLUNC licensing to meet the Slicer sharing philosophy
#US-to-MR or -CT registration brought to RT
#Visualize uncertainty by painting over texture (Pfister/UNC)
#Combine Shadie language with MGRView/PLUNC 3Dview capabilities
#Image analysis and visualization via Slicer (selected modules in use) into PLUNC into MOSAIQ, etc.
#PLUNC Need: Flexibility/refactor?. Multimodal registration. Including context; annotations
#Is there a role for python, numpy?
#Note: WashU CERR has a simple dose engine. Do we integrate that?
#2d-3d Registration for IGRT using Nanotube Stationary Tomosynthesis from Siemens, Xinray
