2013 Summer Project Week:Analyzing Breast Tumor Heterogeneity Using 3D Slicer

Key Investigators

• Boston College: Sneha Dugapal
• RPI: Vivek Narayan
• BWH: Jayender Jagadeesan, Tobias Penskofer, Eva Gombos

Objective

We will develop a module in 3D Slicer to segment breast tumors and quantify their heterogeneity. Based off the heterogeneity of the breast tumors, we will categorize them as invasive ductal carcinoma, ductal carcinoma in situ, or fibroadenoma.

Approach, Plan

Our approach for is to segment the breast tumors using the curve-analysis.

Our plan for the project week is to develop the module to segment tumors and determine their heterogeneity.
