Initial iteration for capturing intra-operative data: meeting with the KU Leuven team, accompanied by Kris Schoonjans from UZ Leuven IT dept. Finished a first draft of GIFT-Cloud paper to be submitted to the Journal of American Medical Informatics Association (JAMIA) Evaluated

Further meetings with Jan Deprest for identifying the roadmap to clinical workflow integration Iterations on the camera calibration target design. Also started implementing camera calibration as a step within the GIFT-Nav placental mosaicing application Started investigating ways for capturing intra-operative

Prepared the GIFT-Nav placental mosaicking demo for the RSG meeting December 2015 (1512) releases of the following software components: GiftGrab NiftyMatch GIFT-Nav placental mosaicking Started working on the NiftyMatch journal paper Together with Jan Deprest, Pankaj Daga, Tom Vercauteren and

GIFT-Nav Placental mosaicking application Added thread-safe logger Implemented a video framegrabber interfacing the Epiphan card Further refactoring performed that will allow for an easy-to-test and easy-to-benchmark modular structure Started an API library called GiftGrab that will support grabbing video frames

NiftyMatch for feature detection and (placental) mosaicing (part of GIFT-Nav) Fully documented the codebase. Started investigating support for a MATLAB API. This will enable broader use of NiftyMatch after it’s been open-sourced. Automated software deployment system The system is in use on

GIFT-Nav Factored functionality related to real-time placental image mosaicking out into a self-contained software module called NiftyMatch. This module will hold GPU implementations of state-of-the-art methods for feature detection and image matching. Packed the BlackMagic driver for capturing fetoscopic video

MedICSS summer school Delivered a two-day hands-on session, where two state-of-the-art tracking technologies were introduced The participants acquired data on a calibration phantom and performed data analysis with a focus on error assessment and propagation As part of the preparation,

GIFT-Cloud development Possible conflict when uploading datasets from the same patient to different projects resolved by coupling patient pseudo-ID’s with projects Patient studies and scans thereof now identified through pseudo-identifiers as well (one-way encryptions, i.e. hashes, of actual study and scan ID’s

Research Steering Group (RSG) meeting Progress presented during the presentation session of the meeting GIFT-Cloud demo made to the RSG committee, showing: how patient data is pushed from a PACS system how GIFT-Cloud Uploader takes on this data, removes patient

Meeting with Gareth Askey (Diagnostic Radiographer/Imaging Systems Deputy Manager) at UCLH David Atkinson participated in the meeting as well, as he has previous experience with data from UCLH Discussed and identified possible ways of uploading data from UCLH PACS Gareth
