DICOMautomaton Volumetric Slice Mapping

About

DVSM (the DICOMautomaton Volumetric Slice Mapping tool) is a software tool for contouring and medical image exploration/visualization. It is composed of the DICOMautomaton suite with an interactive receiver based on Minetest.

A poster on DVSM was presented at ICCR2016. The display included a video kiosk giving a short demonstration of “cooperative” contouring – jumping back and forth between DVSM and a standard contouring mode.

Images

In-game view of an eye. The lens (near the top), orbit (centre), and optic nerve (bottom) stand out.
In-game view of an eye socket and nasal cavities.

Only individual slices can be viewed at a time, since the pixel intensity is used to generate a height map. Embedding volumetric data is possible, but would be extremely time consuming – the user would have to contour by excavating the entirety of the anatomy of interest!
