NorMIT-Plan

Project Description

NorMIT-Plan is part of the Norwegian centre for Minimally Invasive Guided Threrapy (NorMIT). The centre offers resources for medical technology research in minimally invasive therapies. NorMIT-Plan is a software package developed as a set of 3D Slicer modules which will provide tools for segmentation, 3D modeling and surgical plannig for liver resection procedures.

NorMIT-Plan Planning Module

In this project we will update the software to the latest 3D Slicer version, fix known bugs and create a 3D Slicer extension.

Objective

  1. Objective A. Design a new module layout.
  2. Objective B. Refactor old module elements using modern 3D Slicer infrastructure (Terminologies, Markups,...).
  3. Objective C. Make a plan to integrate generic tools into 3D Slicer infrastructure.

Approach and Plan

  1. Creation of a 3D Bezier Markup.
  2. Meetings to decide on an integration strategy.

Progress and Next Steps

  1. A prototype of a new Markup (3D Bezier surface) has been developed.
  2. Plan to extend 3D Slicer infrastructure to allow third-party modules to register markups.
  3. Plan to develop a module and extend 3D Slicer with the generic tools (3D deformable surface markup).
