Home < 2010 Winter Project Week The Vascular Modeling Toolkit in 3D Slicer
A coronary artery segmented using VMTK in 3D Slicer.
Close-up showing the corresponding Voronoi diagram and centerline.
An over-layed label map showing the segmentation in 2D.
Key Investigators
- Daniel Haehn (Student of Medical Informatics, University of Heidelberg)
Objective
The Vascular Modeling Toolkit (VMTK) is a collection of libraries and tools for 3D reconstruction, geometric analysis, mesh generation and surface data analysis for image-based modeling of blood vessels. It should be very interesting to offer such techniques in 3D Slicer.
The official project page: http://www.vmtk.org/Main/VmtkIn3DSlicer
Approach, Plan
To provide VMTK functionality in 3D Slicer the vtkVmtk library has to be available as an add-on. With the connection of VMTK and 3D Slicer processing pipelines between VMTK code and other algorithms can be established.
Plan for project week: Investigate why the VMTK library module (VmtkSlicerModule) does not build on Win32.
Progress
The VMTK library and modules providing selected functionality are available as 3D Slicer extensions. This enables a flexible and convenient way for distribution and installation.
The following extensions are available:
- VmtkSlicerModule - a gui-less module providing the latest VMTK library (base installation)
- VMTKLevelSetSegmentation - providing the VMTK level-set segmentation process including different algorithms for initialization and evolution
- VMTKEasyLevelSetSegmentation - an easier interface to level-set segmentation with selected algorithms
- VMTKVesselEnhancement - Vesselness filtering to enhance tubular structures
- VMTKCenterlines - Centerline computation of polydata models
The modules have been successfully applied to segmentation problems (e.g. Coronary Artery Centerline Extraction - see Tutorial).
