Module Description

This is an interactive segmentation approach that is guided by the user throughout the task.







Tutorials

Step 1.) Add data volume to segment

Step 2.) Go to the “Editor” module, select the volume loaded in Step 1 as the “Master Volume” in the “Create and Select Label Maps” drop-down menu

Step 3.) Select the “KSlice” effect in the “Edit Selected Label Map” drop-down menu

Step 4.) Set the “Radius” parameter and press the “Start Interactive Segmentor” button ( KSlice is now running in the background until the “Stop Interactive Segmentor” button is pressed)

Step 5.) Turn “On” all three slice views in the 3D Plane

Step 5.) Select the “PaintEffect” tool and initialize KSlice by drawing inside the structure of interest (green circle, inside the esophagus in this example)

Step 6.) Hover the mouse over a slice view (we focus on the “Red” slice first, here) and press the “Q” key to evolve a 2D active contour in this plane

Step 7.) Press the “C” key to copy the current segmentation in this 2D plane, then press the left/right arrow on the keyboard to move on to an adjacent slice, press the “V” key to paste the label, thereby initializing the current slice

Step 8.) Evolve the 2D contour on this slice by pressing “Q”

Step 9.) Hover mouse over the yellow, then green slices and repeat (as many times as desired) Steps 6-8

          • As necessary, at any time in the process *****

Step 10.) Press the “A” key to change drawing modes (between Draw/Delete label). Thus, if the user's expert knowledge of anatomy does not agree with the current segmentation results, he adds negative input by erasing a label. By deleting in the same area multiple times, the user input is accumulated and this guiding signal forces the changes to become persistent

Step 11.) Alternatively, a user can press “A” again to return to drawing. If a contour is not reaching an area that is, in fact, part of the structure of interest, the user can add positive input by painting this area

Step 12.) Evolve the contour with the changed user input, and new initialization

                  • Optional visualization ******************

Step 13.) Turn on “Volume Rendering” of the label image in 3D (notice the parameters set for faster interaction). This will be updated during the evolution

Step 14.) Evolution in 3D is done by pressing the “W” key
