  Projects List

Slicer Extension for GLioma Image SegmenTation and Registration (GLISTR)

Key Investigators

• University of Pennsylvania: Andreas Schuh

Objective

Implementing a Slicer extension for the GLISTR software.

Approach, Plan

Getting familiar with the extension interfaces of Slicer to decide which one is most appropriate for the integration of GLISTR. Likely, this will be the command-line interface. Then, implementing the Slicer extension (i.e., most likely a command-line module).
