Project Description

Objective

  • One goal of the mi2b2 collaborative effort is to create a web-based teaching tool for fetal and neonatal anatomy as well as a browser for quantified information. The goal of this project is to create a prototype application for this purpose.

Approach, Plan

We propose the following steps to create a high-level didactic content creation tool.

  • Enable switching between different testing scenarios (fetal brains, liver etc.)
  • Start with the existing Liver tutorial dataset from the NA-MIC training core which includes a limited number of Q&A
  • Load a visual scene linked to a question catalog from a defined file format (XML?)
  • The visualization and the questions are linked so answers can be provided in a fully interactive fashion (picking of a 3D mesh.. etc.)
  • Track user-specified answers and provide statistics after testing mode
  • Use 3D Slicer to generate content for training and testing
  • Prototype will be built on top of existing visualization infrastructure (XTK and web-based fetal atlas tool)

Progress

  • User interface mockups are being prepared
