Project Description

Objective

  • We are developing tools for quantitative image analysis for PET scans, so far specifically involving head and neck cancer. The goal is to have a Slicer extension that supports the calculation and storage of quantitative indices from regions of interest. These indices go beyond those in the Label Statistics module, and can be computationally expensive.

Approach, Plan

  • Review the desired functionality of the module and how it may be implemented in a workflow.
  • Discuss appropriate type of module (CLI, scripted, loadable) if necessary.
  • Discuss how calculated indices may be stored in Slicer environment.

Progress

  • A simple CLI module has been started that calculates a few indices, but this does not allow for storage of the calculated values.
