Modules


Extension Description

  • The SegmentCAD module is designed to segment tumors from DCE-MRI datasets which include a pre-contrast image and post-contrast images at different time points.
    • SegmentCAD uses blackbox methods to calculate the wash-in and wash-out slopes from the time-intensity curves.
    • The segmentation output is a Label Map with red, yellow, and blue colors respectively identifying washout (Type III), plateau (Type II), and persistent (Type I) voxels.
  • The HeterogeneityCAD module is an extensible, image feature extraction toolbox primarily to quantify the heterogeneity of tumor images and their label maps.
    • Metrics have been implemented from a variety of feature classes including:
      • First-Order/Histogram statistics
      • Morphology/Shape measures and Geometrical (4D Extrusion) measures
      • Renyi/Fractal dimensions
      • Texture features computed from Gray-Level Co-occurrence Matrices (GLCM) and from Gray-Level Run Length matrices (GLRL)
