Project Description

Objective

  • The Chest Imaging Platform (CIP) is a general purpose library for analysis of chest images for the characterization of chronic lung diseases. The main objective is to make the tools available to the public by providing a common infrastructure that in turn can be incorporating into Slicer by means of the Slicer CIP library.
  • The goal for this week is to consolidate several core functionalities:
    • Integration of scale-space particles in VTK.
    • Development of the phenotype extraction library in cip_python.
    • Explore the integration with ontologies in our chest labelmap definition that employs a region/type coding scheme.

Approach, Plan

  • We will wrap Teem functionality within a VTK class to implement scale-space particles.
  • Consolidate different phenotype extraction scripts under cid_python.
  • Discuss the possibilities of having "rich" labelmaps based on well-defined ontologies.

Progress

  • Private Github repository: https://github.com/acil-bwh/ChestImagingPlatformPrivate
  • VTK class has been developed to wrap pull library in Teem. Testing is under progress
  • Discuss with QIIR the potential use of DICOM objects and common ontologies to represent anatomical regions and disease states
