Back to AHM_2014 Agenda

The Scoop

  • Project week will continue.
  • 3D Slicer 4 will continue.

Introduction

This page contains talking points for the opening session of the NA-MIC AHM 2014 (the last one).

Slicer downloads by country and region

Slicer downloads by country and region


What we have accomplished

  • Created a vibrant scientific and engineering community in the field of Medical Image Computing (MIC).
  • Investigated novel algorithmic approaches: Particle systems, registration algorithms, segmentation algorithms, software engineering methodologies
  • Created the NA-MIC kit, a free open source platform for MIC and the basis for 3D Slicer.
  • 3D Slicer is today a platform with worldwide impact.

Highlights

  • Robust algorithms for segmentation in the face of anatomical variability: label fusion
  • Comprehensive toolbox for the analysis of individual and population DTI data
  • The predominant shape analysis toolbox in the field/used in clinical papers(SPHARM-PDM)
  • A novel framework for modeling brain connectivity networks
  • Robust pipeline for processing clinical brain images
  • Automatic 4D segmentation of longitudinal brain MRI in severe TBI
  • Tract-oriented white matter analysis for subject-specific and population analysis
  • NAMIC researchers take lead in novel spatio-temporal image and shape analysis methodologies (Whitaker, Styner, Gerig, Tannenbaum and colleagues)

Where we go from here

  • Project week will continue to provide a venue for hands on multi-partner collaboration in a rich MIC software environment.
  • 3D Slicer 4 will continue to provide a stable platform as a target for plug-in development and distribution.
  • The remaining months of NA-MIC funding will be used to
    • Improve the stability of Slicer and simplify the submission of extensions.
    • Create a new batch of extensions
    • Improve documentation and create tutorials
