Overview

TubeTK is being developed to host algorithms for applications involving images of tubes. By focusing on the geometry of tubes we can accomplish grand challenges in image analysis in a subset of significant cases.

Features

Centerline vascular segmentation
Vascular atlas formation
Vascular network to image registration
Organ segmentation
Vascular-ness measures
Multi-modality support

Driving Applications

Diagnosis of retinopathy of prematurity
Analysis of vascular differences within and between populations to identify focal (e.g., stroke) and diffuse (e.g., schizophrenia) diseases.
Vascular atlas formation
Radiofrequency ablation guidance via intra-operative registration of pre-op CT with intra-op Ultrasound
Brain tumor resection guidance via intra-operative registration
Imaging tumor micro-environments (with UNC BME Dept.)

Technical Focus

Vascular pattern analysis is the characterization and comparison of individuals and populations based on "spatial graphs" as representations of vascular networks.
Sliding organ registration are methods for registering images of multiple organs in which the organs may have shifted, expanded, or compressed independently.
Intra-operative ultrasound registration is the grand challenge of real-time transcription of pre-operative surgical plans into intra-operative ultrasound images.
