Key Investigators

  • Utah: Bo Wang, Marcel Prastawa, and Guido Gerig
  • UCLA: Andrei Irimia, Micah Chambers, Jack Van Horn and Paul M. Vespa
  • Kitware: Danielle Pace, Stephen Aylward

Objective

  • Defining manual segmentation protocol for MR images of TBI
  • Validate the segmentation of the algorithm
  • Visualizing volume changes, deformation field

Approach, Plan

Our plan for the project week:

  • Working with collaborators to define manual segmentation protocol
  • Comparing the independent segmentation and joint segmentation
  • Visualizing volume changes and deformation field according to clinicians' requirements.

Progress

  • Summarized the rule the clinician used to do manual segmentation
  • Compared the result of the algorithm with clinician's manual segmentation
  • Explored different ways to visualize the volume changes/deformation field, we tried the following methods.
    • Jacobian determinant
    • Vector magnitude
