http://www.slicer.org/slicerWiki/index.php/Slicer3:Module:Level-Set_Segmentation_Framework-Documentation

The modules in the framework support different tasks in the segmentation realization in 3DSlicer. A module called Level-set label map evolver was developed, which takes an initial label image and a feature image as input and performs a Geodesic Active Contours evolution on the label image according to the feature image and to a different terms in the level-set equation. The evolution takes place for a customizable number of iterations. The output is a label image that can be used to produce a model. Other modules were developed to accompany the main module as can be seen in http://www.slicer.org/slicerWiki/index.php/Slicer3:Module:Level-Set_Segmentation_Framework-Documentation

http://www.na-mic.org/Wiki/index.php/SoftwareInventory

A free open source software platform consisting of the 3D Slicer application software, a number of tools and toolkits such as VTK and ITK, and a software engineering methodology that enables multiplatform implementations. It also draws on other best practices from the community to support automatic testing for quality assurance. The NA-MIC kit uses a modular approach, where the individual components can be used by themselves or together. The NA-MIC kit is fully-compatible with local installation (behind institutional firewalls) and installation as an internet service. Significant effort has been invested to ensure compatibility with standard file formats and interoperability with a large number of external applications. Users of the NAMIC Kit will typically use a combination of its many modular components. * 3D Slicer is a general purpose application. Biomedical researchers will typically use this software tool to load, view, analyze, process and save image data. Slicer has been implemented to interoperate with many other tools, including XNAT, which is an open source image database. * Slicer modules, which are dynamically loaded by Slicer at run-time, can be used to extend Slicer''''s core functionality including defining graphical user interfaces. Modules are typically used by algorithms and application developers. * Application and algorithms developers may also use NA-MIC Kit toolkits and libraries. For example, the Insight Segmentation and Registration Toolkit ITK can be used to develop slicer modules for medical image analysis. The Visualization Toolkit can be used to process, visualize and graphically interact with data. KWWidgets is a 2D graphical user interface toolset that can be used to build applications. Teem is a library of general purpose command-line tools that are useful for processing data. Finally, those individuals wishing to create and manage complex software, the NAMIC-Kit software process is available as embodied in CMake, CTest, CPack, DART and the various documentation, bug tracking and communication tools.

http://www.nitrc.org/projects/unlmeans/

A fast and robust software implementation of the popular Nonlocal Means for MRI-Rician denoising. It works by computing the non-local weights based on distances in a features space comprising the local mean value and gradients of the image. It can reach an acceleration factor of 20x over the original implementation, with an improved performance for medium-low SNR images. They use a bias correction step for Rician noise based on the well-known Conventional Approach. This software can be compiled either as a Slicer module or a stand-alone: http://www.nitrc.org/snapshots.php?group_id=518

This tool can be used as a command line module with 3D Slicer (version 3 and above) for the affine registration of image volumes. The registration toolbox has 2 options: 1) a Mutual Information based registration, 2) a Sum-of-Square differences registration method. The final output is in the same space as the fixed image. You do require to have CUDA v2.2 or greater installed on your system with atleast 256MB Nvidia GPU memmory card. All operating systems are supported, but take a look at the CMakeLists.txt file for how to compile for you system.

http://www.nitrc.org/projects/multixplore/

Graphical user interface that has been implemented as a 3D Slicer plugin (scripted module). It serves to display a corresponding set of cortical regions from functional connectivity matrix in an explorable 3D scene that represents brain anatomical environment. In addition to grey matter regions, MultiXplore automatically finds and extracts deterministic fiber bundles which exist between selected region(s) and adds them to the 3D environment. This feature helps in generating region-based fiber bundles given a desired whole-brain tractography data.

Provides series of modules which enable functions of Vascular Modeling Toolkit in 3D Slicer. Functionality includes vessel enhancement filtering, level set segmentation, centerline computation, network extraction and branch splitting.VMTK is available through the extension manager for 3D Slicer from version 4.6.2. Main difference to Slicer3 version is that now all VMTK modules come as one extension bundle. This should enhance the installation experience for users.

http://www.nitrc.org/projects/finslertract/

This module implements the Finsler tractography method with HARDI data described by J. Melonakos et al. From a set of seeding and target points, the paths are estimated as the shortest path taking into account a local, directional dependent cost. The output provided is the connectivity map from each voxel in the volume to the seeding points, plus a vector volume with the directions tangent to the fiber bundles at each point. If the Backtracing module within is built, these directions can be traced back to actually compute the fiber bundles (VTK required). The software can be built as either a stand-alone or a CLI plugin for 3D Slicer.

A software plugin for 3D Slicer that matches morphological signatures of medical images automatically. HAMMER is an acronym for Hierarchical Attribute Matching Mechanism for Elastic Registration (Dinggang Shen, Christos Davatzikos, HAMMER: Hierarchical Attribute Matching Mechanism for Elastic Registration, IEEE Trans. on Medical Imaging, 21(11):1421-1439, Nov 2002) - an elastic registration algorithm for medical images, matching morphological signatures of images in a hierarchical multi-scale regime. White matter lesion (WML) segmentation is a novel multi-spectral WML segmentation protocol via incorporating information from T1-w, T2-w, PD-w and FLAIR MR brain images. (Zhiqiang Lao, Dinggang Shen, Dengfeng Liu, Abbas F Jawad, Elias R Melhem, Lenore J Launer, Nick R Bryan, Christos Davatzikos, Computer-Assisted Segmentation of White Matter Lesions in 3D MR images, Using Pattern Recognition, Academic Radiology, 15(3):300-313, March 2008).
