The ''' 3D Interactive Visualization of DICOM Images for Radiology Applications''' course will be offered by the National Alliance for Medical Image Computing (NA-MIC) in conjunction with the Neuroimage Analysis Center (NAC)  and Harvard Catalyst at the [http://rsna2011.rsna.org  97th Scientific Assembly and Annual Meeting of the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA 2011)].
 
As part of the outreach missions of these NIH funded National Centers, we have developed an offering of freely available, multi-platforms open source software to enable medical image analysis research. The course along with the tutorial 3D Visualization datasets aim to introduce translational clinical scientists to the basics of viewing and interacting in 3D with DICOM volumes and anatomical models using the 3DSlicer software.

Technological breakthroughs in medical imaging hardware and the emergence of increasingly sophisticated image processing software tools permit the visualization and display of complex anatomical structures with increasing sensitivity and specificity. This workshop will begin with an introductory presentation of state-of-the-art, clinical examples of quantitative imaging biomarkers for diagnosis and clinical trial outcome measures. Cases from multiple imaging modalities and from multiple organ systems will be highlighted to illustrate the depth and breath of this field. Participants will then be led through a series of tutorials on the basics of viewing and processing DICOM volumes in 3D using 3D SLICER (www.SLICER.org). Specific hands-on demonstrations will focus on basic use of 3D Slicer software, quantitative measurements from PET/CT studies, and volumetric analysis of meningioma.

Mission statement

The Imaging Consortium:

  • provides expert consultation to assist clinical and translational investigators in the planning and design of medical imaging research.
  • educates about both general and current state of the art medical imaging and image processing capabilities. The courses are designed to better acquaint clinicians and scientists with the tools and technologies available in this important field.
  • guides the CTSC participants about available resources in the use of imaging as part of clinical translational research.
  • develops, through the Harvard Catalyst Medical Imaging Informatics Bench to Bedside Initiative (mi2b2) and cross-institutional harmonization efforts, medical imaging informatics to support the clinical and translational research community and enable current and future large-scale medical image data exploration.
