Overview of Meeting

Dr. Triedman introduced the project to those unfamiliar. Various options for semi-automated segmentation tools were discussed and big picture questions answered. We then looked at ways to utilize SPL's expertise in creating torso/heart models.

  • Dr. Warfield suggested obtaining several datasets and creating statistical atlases utilizing the STAPLE algorithm already in use in his lab for brain and abdominal segmentations. He was optimistic that with several manual segmentations in each class the algorithms would have a basis for segmentation.
  • Dr. Westin suggested utilizing the segmentation algorithm developed by Kilian Pohl for segmentation. This is already built into 3D Slicer but the parameters would have to be optimized for torso/heart.
  • There was discussion of who should be the "point" man at SPL for developing this project.
  • Discussion of funding options, CIMIT grant proposal, as well as overview of recent discussions with CIMIT adminstration
  • The clinical folks will put representative CT/MRI datasets on the SPL server to facilitate access to data
