Module Description

The OpenCAD is designed to segment tumors from DCE-MRI datasets which include 1 pre-contrast image and 2-4 post-contrast images at different time points. OpenCAD uses blackbox methods to calculate the wash-in and wash-out slopes of the contrast dye based on voxel intensity values. The segmentation output is a Label Map with red, yellow, and blue colors respectively identifying washout, plateau, and persistent voxels:

  • Red for Washout curve
    • Slope of delayed curve < -0.2 | Type III
  • Yellow for Plateau curve
    • -0.2 < Slope of delayed curve < 0.2 | Type II
  • Blue for Persistent curve
    • Slope of delayed curve > 0.2 | Type I

Features

  • Interactive Charting -
  • Volume Rendering -
  • Label Statistics -
