Key Investigators

  • BWH: Raul San Jose, Demian Wassermann, Rola Harmouche (BWH)

Background

Airway Inspector (www.airwayinspector.org) is a tool for CT-based image quantitative analysis of the lung to allow the exploration of airway morphology and desitometric characteristics [1]. Airway Inspector is based on Slicer2.

Objective

Port the capabilities of Airway Inspector to Slicer4.

Approach, Plan

This goal will be achieved by creating extension module with two components:

  • Emphysema Analysis Sub-Module
    • Port Chest structure segmentation using VTK
    • Creation of loadable module
  • Airway Analysis Sub-Module
    • Port airway measurement VTK classes
    • Creation of a loadable module

Progress

The main libraries for lung and airway wall segmentation tools have been developed using C++ and VTK and have been validated and used in multiple clinical works.


Delivery Mechanism

This work will be delivered to the NA-MIC Kit as a

  1. Slicer Module
    1. Extension — loadable modules
