Meeting Minutes September 07, 2015 1. Attendees: Tom Vercauteren Michael Ebner 2. Discussed Topics: SimpleITK and optimizers therein 3. Action Items: Use SimpleITK for registering kidney images in-plane SimpleITK: 2D to 3D registration Find bug in iterative equation solver Kainz

Ideas: – Use super pixel as a regularisation strategy by using voting of the probabilities to decide if the super pixel is tool or not. Combine this approach with clustering the super pixels by using RCD and GMM or SMM.

Development of new integrated Fe3O4NP@tiopronin-PDMS polymers. Further experiments on magneto acoustics – continued optimisation required. Dip coat hydrophone (parylene) with optimised Fe3O4NP@tiopronin-PDMS coating. Test response. Hydrophone experiment led to investigation of achieving PDMS domes on 125 um and 200 um fibres. Range

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,

Meeting Minutes August 17, 2015 1. Attendees: Tom Vercauteren Michael Ebner 2. Discussed Topics: Own registration algorithm Choice of programming framework: Python, (Simple)ITK, C++ Rigid-registration pipeline in 2D SimpleITK 3. Action Items: Find bug in iterative equation solver SimpleITK Inter-slice

Photoacoustic endoscopy (PAE) probe developed using coherent fibre bundle offers several advantages over conventional distal-end scanning probes. However, to obtain good quality images we need to overcome some of the technical challenges associated with coherent fibre bundles, such as optical

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

July 07/2015 Start of port placement planning 1- A model from annotated data will be used. 1A- To define what needs to be annotated and which images will be used. 1B- For the moment, the images/models from Telecom Paris (TP)
