Extension Description

This tool provides an Editor-Effect for semi-automated segmentation of tumors and hot lymph nodes in PET scans. A detailed description and evaluation of the method can be found in Beichel et al. (2015): "Semi-automated Segmentation of Head and Neck Cancers using 18F-FDG PET Scans: A Just Enough Interaction Approach", in Medical Physics (submitted).

Modules

  • PET Tumor Segmentation Editor Effect
  • PETTumorSegmentation Plugin: This plugin provides the functionality used by the editor effect for the actual processing. It is hidden from the GUI and not intended to be used directly.
