Background and References

Deep learning models have outperformed some of the previous state-of-the-art approaches in medical image analysis. However, utilizing deep models during image-guided therapy procedures requires integration of several software components which is often a tedious taskfor clinical researchers. Hence, there is a gap between the state-of-the-art machine learning research and itsapplication in clinical setup. DeepInfer enables 3D Slicer to connect to a powerful processing back-end either on the local machine or a remote processing server. Utilizing a repository of pre-trained, task-specific models, DeepInfer allows clinical researchers and biomedical engineers to choose and deploy a model on new data without the need for software development or configuration.

Project Description

Objective Approach and Plan Progress and Next Steps
  • Develop the client side as a Slicer extension.
  • Develop the server side.
  • Train a diabetic retinopathy classifier and add the model to the DeepInfer model repository.
