  • Polina Golland (MIT)

Objective

We are developing a Slicer module to segment the region within the thecal sac in MRI images of the spine. Our objective is to provide a segmentation and visualization tool to improve the treatment of disc herniation. The structures of interests are the cerebro-spinal fluid (CSF), the discs, the vertebrae and the spinal nerves. The main challenge is to perform the segmentation in a fully automated way.

Approach, Plan

Our plan for the project week is to integrate our code into Slicer 3.5. Our code analyzes the intensity profile of different regions in the MRI and automatically defines the optimum region for the CSF.

Progress

The algorithm will be implemented using ITK and VTK.
