Objective

  • Segment calcium plaques
  • Calculate a calcium score and label statistics

Approach, Plan

  • Threshold cardiac CT using minimum intensity threshold
  • Calculate Agatston scores and label statists

Progress

  • Added the module as an extension to the Extension Manager in Slicer builds after 06-25-14
  • Mostly finished the extension tutorial
  • Presented tutorial in the tutorial contest
