Objective:

We want to add various statistical measures into our PDE flows for medical imaging. This will allow the incorporation of global image information into the locally defined PDE frameowrk.

Progress:

We developped flows which can separate the distributions inside and outside the evolving contour, and we have also been including shape information in the flows.

Completed:

  • A statistically based flow for image segmentation, using Fast Marching
Figure 1:Screenshot from the Slicer Fast Marching module
  • The code has been integrated into the Slicer
  • A user-oriented tutorial for the Fast Marching algorithm is available at:Slicer Module Tutorial

Key Investigators:

Delphine Nain, Eric Pichon, Oleg Michailovich, Yogesh Rathi, James Malcolm, Allen Tannenbaum
