Project Description
Our team has been developing various 3D Slicer modules for lung ultrasound analysis (https://github.com/SlicerUltrasound/SlicerUltrasound), from de-identification to annotation and adjudication. However, we have slowly started porting the extensions developed in Slicer to OHIF, as this is easier for the clinicians and other researchers to use. It doesn’t require them to install any additional software, and they can access OHIF from the web.
Initial work has been performed by the Radical Imaging team to update OHIF with the B-line quantification tools that our team requires. However, there are some improvements that still need to be made:
- We need to make sure annotation of the pleural lines and B-lines are supported, and that the resulting files are saved appropriately.
- We would like to have single-rater vs multi-rater modes, where the multi-raters can work together to discuss a case, or adjudicate the annotations.
Objective
- Fix the current issues with allowing annotations and saving of the files.
- Open a PR to the official OHIF repository for our proposed changes.
Approach and Plan
- First, we will assess the current issues with the B-line detection viewer.
- Then we will make the necessary changes to reproduce the functionality from the SlicerUltrasound extension.
- Lastly, we will make a PR to the official OHIF repo.
Progress and Next Steps
- Describe specific steps you have actually done.
