Completed

  • Ridge extractor success
  • Email requests for TubeTK
  • Licensing changes
  • Blur3D -> Blur

Ongoing

  • Radius extractor tests
    • 2D and 3D only :(
  • Funding re-allocation

Upcoming

  • Application in plant biology
  • Proposal with Paul / Liz

Romain

  • Implementation on the ComputeTortuosity module (only Distance Metric)
    • Started debugging
  • Future
    • More debugging! ---> hopefully testing soon
    • #tube command
    • Implementation of the other 2 methods : ICM SOAM

Sliding organ registration

  • Fixed "duh" problem from Thursday - extracting tangential and normal components before computing regularization
  • Regularization smoothing in normal direction completed
  • Added intensity distance function (mean squares)

XCAT phantom

  • Got XCAT running on my machine (thanks Andinet!)
  • Learned XCAT parameters
  • Wrote isbiValidation.py:
    • --basic (XCAT mode 0 - phantom mode): with respiratory period 5s and cardiac period 1s, generates two images at 0s and 2.5 s, saves as .mhd
    • --gold (XCAT mode 2 - spherical lesion generation mode): creates gold standard motion field, and saves as .txt (index, vector in 6 columns). Then run itkImageToImageDiffusiveDeformableRegistrationGenerateGoldStandardTest to create itk::Image<VectorType, Dimension> .mhd for visualization
      • XCAT phantom gives gold standard vectors for surface borders (XCAT mode 4), but no internal vectors! So...
      • for index in range - generate spherical lesion at index, use nurbs_save = 1 to save lesion.nrb, then calculate centroid of lesion control points

    • --segmentation (XCAT mode 5 - save anatomical variation mode, or run XCAT mode 0 with save_nurbs = 1) to save surfaces (.nrb text file). Then create new .txt file for the surface you want. Then run itkImageToImageDiffusiveDeformableRegistrationGenerateNormalsTest to create itk::Image<PixelType, Dimension> of control points
      • Unfortunately: (1) control points need interpolation, can't find NURBS support in VTK; (2) XCAT has MANY types of surfaces for one organ - ex all intracardiac surfaces, etc, and it would be a lot of work to sort through them; (3) Perfect segmentation not great for registration method evaluation - removes segmentation error component of total error.
      • Ex: right lung

Talking points

  • Underlying XCAT deformation fields too perfect? They are likely interpolating the border vectors.

Future

  • Boundary conditions
  • Compute weighting term = distance to organ border
  • Extract organ border normals from input data
  • Run registration + compare to gold standard for validation #s
