  Projects List

Slicer Extension for GLioma Image SegmenTation and Registration (GLISTR)

Key Investigators

• University of Pennsylvania: Andreas Schuh, Daniel Haehn, Kilian Pohl

Objective

Implementing a Slicer extension for the GLISTR [1] software. The tumor growth model used is detailed in [2].

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).
