Introduction
The National Alliance for Medical Image Computing (NAMIC), was founded in 2005 and chartered with building a computational infrastructure to support biomedical research as part of the NIH funded NCBC program. The work of this alliance has resulted in important progress in algorithmic research, an open source medical image computing platform 3D Slicer, enhancements to the underlying building blocks VTK, ITK, CMake, and CDash, and the creation of a community of algorithm researchers, biomedical scientists and software engineers who are committed to open science. This community meets twice a year in an open source hackathon event called Project Week.
Project Week is a semi-annual open source hackathon which draws 60-120 researchers. As of August 2014, it is a MICCAI endorsed event. The participants work collaboratively on open-science solutions for problems that lie on the interfaces of the fields of computer science, mechanical engineering, biomedical engineering, and medicine. In contrast to conventional conferences and workshops the primary focus of the Project Weeks is to make progress in projects (as opposed to reporting about progress). The objective of the Project Weeks is to provide a venue for this community of medical open source software creators. Project Weeks are open to all, are publicly advertised, and are funded through fees paid by the attendees. Participants are encouraged to stay for the entire event.
Project Week activities: Everyone shows up with a project. Some people are working on the platform. Some people are developing algorithms. Some people are applying the tools to their research problems. We begin the week by introducing projects and connecting teams. We end the week by reporting progress. In addition to the ongoing working sessions, breakout sessions are organized ad-hoc on a variety of special topics. These topics include: discussions of software architecture, presentations of new features and approaches and topics such as Image-Guided Therapy.
Several funded projects use the Project Week as a place to convene and collaborate. These include NAC, NCIGT, QIICR, and OCAIRO.
A summary of all previous Project Events is available here.
This project week is an event endorsed by the MICCAI society.

Participants
- Tina Kapur (MIT) - organizer; planning Nvidia webinars. Proposal to use Monday as a schedule for the deep learning workshop before workshop begins.
- Steve Pieper (Isomics/BWH) - NVidia update; met with Abdul at NVidia (Medical applications of deep learning). Positive meeting and Slicer might be a reference platform. NVIdia will host a Monday Afternoon session at Project Week and hold outside webinars for basic deep learning information. Considering two or three days of a few hours each for webinar. Discussion of a prize board awarded for demonstrations that Nvidia could use.
- Patmal (Univ. of Pennsylvania Biomedical Group) Showcase some of their capability: cancer & phenomics toolkit; facilitate integration from their toolkit to/from Slicer; They have a few applications that might be interesting to others during project week - (1) fibre tracking in brain, (2) lung tumor segmentation, (3) density estimation
- Beatriz, Alexis, and JC (Kitware) - Slicer support and 3 other projects (1) customized childrern's medical, (1) Alex submitted volumetric meshing project in Slicer idea to the NA-MIC email list; have a discussion on Meshing; the goal is for Finite Element analsis and light imaging (2), better MATLAB integration (use Python-like interface). (3) Beatrix - shape analysis algorithms to be added to Slicer based on recently-funded grant.
- JC (Kitware) - integration of iPython and Slicer; Tina Suggested also Deep Infer framework to integrate with Slicer
- Louise Oram (Stockholm) - Specialization of Slicer for Liver surgery, possibly using SliceLet approach or other way to tailor the Slicer UI. Currently customizations need to be in the Extension catalog. Also interested in Liver vessel segmentation project and other Liver segmentation tasks. This might complement with MeVIS lab capability focused on liver. Separate modules for liver surgery that might be integrated together later.
- Frank Pricework (BWH) - General GPU programming; experiment with rehosting algorithms has has previously developed to GPU.
- Paolo, Italy - (Summer Project Week Host)
- Naboo (Old Dominion) - two possible projects, not certain yet - (1) smaller training datasets for medical images, (2) braining atlas segmentation integration with Slicer.
- Curt Lisle (KnowledgeVis) - (1) web-based transition of subset of Slicer capability, (2) Iowa Meshing Module move from 3.6 to 4.7 (with Alex from Kitware); (3) possible integration of web-based volume rendering;
- Patmal (Univ. of Pennsylvania Biomedical Group) Showcase some of their capability: cancer & phenomics toolkit; facilitate integration from their toolkit to/from Slicer; They have a few applications that might be interesting to others during project week - (1) fibre tracking in brain, (2) lung tumor segmentation, (3) density estimation
- Eric Seigler - OHIS Cornerstone Lesion Tracker author; Integrating interactive segmentation into the web-based framework
Discussions
- Training deep learning networks with smaller datasets.
- Integrating of projects with Slicer & architecture will be a discussion topic during the week.
