TubeTK

Overview

TubeTK is being developed to host algorithms for applications involving images of tubes. By focusing on the geometry of tubes we can accomplish grand challenges in image analysis in a subset of significant cases.

Features of TubeTK

• Centerline vascular segmentation
• Vascular atlas formation
• Vascular network to image registration
• Organ segmentation
• Vascular-ness measures

Applications

• Diagnosis of retinopathy of prematurity
• Analysis of vascular differences within and between populations to identify focal (e.g., stroke) and diffuse (e.g., schizophrenia) diseases.
• Vascular atlas formation
• Radiofrequency ablation guidance via intra-operative registration of pre-op CT with intra-op Ultrasound
• Brain tumor resection guidance via intra-operative registration

Technologies

• TubeTK/Vascular_Pattern_Analysis
• TubeTK/Sliding_Organ_Registration
• TubeTK/Intra-operative_Ultrasound_Registration
