Key Investigators

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]. In order to become a part of 3D Slicer 4, the Airway inspector needs to have a consistent MRML representation of data and visualization


Objective

To develop a MRML Infrastructure for the airway inspector

Approach, Plan

We will base the developement in the current infrastructure for tractography in 3D slicer. This is well modularized and encompasses data representation, I/O and GUI

Progress

TBD


Delivery Mechanism

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

  1. Slicer Module
    1. Extension — loadable modules
