Project Description
- Tool webpage: http://www.slicer.org/slicerWiki/index.php/Documentation/Nightly/Modules/PETTumorSegmentationEffect
- Github repository: https://github.com/chribaue/PETTumorSegmentation.git
Objective
- Finalize tool for tumor and lymph node segmentation in PET scans
- Make it publicly available through Slicer Extension Manager
- Segmentation method based on Markus van Tol (2014): A Graph-Based Method for Segmentation of Tumors and Lymph Nodes in Volumetric PET Images, The University of Iowa
Approach, Plan
- Main functionality of the tool has already been developed
- Write self tests
- replace solver with Slicer-license compatible solver
- fine-tune GUI, prepare icon, etc.
- document and clean up source code
- create webpage with documentation and usage tutorial
- get module into Slicer extension management system
- potentially: add functionality to obtain quantitative measurements immediately during segmentation process
Progress
- wrote self tests
- cleaned source code
- switched to new solver and verified correct behavior
- switched to most recent version of 3D Slicer and verified correct behavior
- created webpage with user documentation
- put extension onto github and submitted for integration into Slicer extensions manager
