<h3>Objective</h3>
 
The goal of this project is to create a segmentation module in Slicer3 that offers a high productivity and reliability to the clinician.
 
The primary application is the segmentation of MRI images using a probabilistic atlas.

<h3>Approach, Plan</h3>
 
Our algorithm builds upon the Expectation Maximization theory and is structured to let the clinician make the most efficient use of his/her anatomical knowledge.
 
Because of our intuitive visualization of probabilities, the user can understand the probabilistic features of his/her data and can efficiently tune the parameters to obtain the most accurate segmentation.
 
To meet the time constraints of the tasks in a hospital, a main focus has been devoted to the acceleration of the EM segmentation algorithm.

<h3>Progress</h3>
 
A Slicer3 module for MRI Bias Field Correction has been developed to serve as a pre-processing step for the EM segmentation and is currently tested by collaborators who study alcohol and stress interaction in primates.
