<h3>Objective</h3>
* We are developing methods for identifying scar tissue from CARMA data. Our previous method demonstrates an effective identification ability for DE-MRI data. In this method, the intensity distribution inside the LA myocardial wall is modeled as a mixture of Gaussians. To improve the performance of this method, we will integrate the intensity information from the LA chamber into the overall identification procedure.

Project Description

Objective

  • We have created several Python-based image quality assurance modules for use by research technicians in our lab. Our goals with this project are:
  1. Refactoring to enable more flexible extension of the modules
  2. Implementation of several user requests, such as hotkeys
  3. Improved interaction with our database for increased robustness
  4. Expanded testing and logging
  5. Documentation and examples on Slicer Wiki

Approach, Plan

  • Implement a test database on the fly
  • Expand test code coverage (doctests, unittests via nose)
  • Add logging
  • Decouple module code from DB interaction
  • Refactor and consolidate code from our three modules
  • Improve GUI and MRML interactions
