Extension Description

SlicerProstate extension hosts various modules to facilitate

• processing and management of prostate image data
• utilizing prostate images in image-guided interventions
• development of the imaging biomarkers of the prostate cancer

While the main motivation for developing the functionality contained in this extension was prostate cancer imaging applications, they can also be applied in different contexts.

Modules

• Distance Map Based Registration
• Segmentation Smoothing
• QuadEdgeSurfaceMesher
