Agenda

To brainstorm computational methods for radiation oncology between UNC, NA-MIC, BWH.


  • 8am: Breakfast
  • 8:30-10:30am: UNC -presentations about capabilities of current projects, short term and longer term plans
    • Julian Rosenman PLUNC 18 minutes
    • Gregg Tracton Software for PLUNC, segmentation, registration 10 minutes
    • Stephen Pizer Registration by regression (2 methods), Segmentation via posterior optimization, training probability distributions on s reps and quantile functions, segmentation via correspondence-preserving warps, ant aliasing 23 minutes
    • Sha Chang Nanotube imaging, incl. for IGRT 10 minutes
    • Brandon Frederick Iterative tomographic reconstruction, CTs at treatment time, gpu’s 15 minutes
    • Derek Merck 3D visualization via model-guided rendering, 3D visualization in PLUNC for RTP 15 minutes
    • Ilknur Kabul Texturing of surfaces, onion skins, and cut planes; interpolation of textures 10 minutes
