i-Violin Workshop - Organised by European Institute for Biomedical Imaging Research (EIBIR)
iViolin - Objective image quality determination in oncological patient images
March 1, 16:00 - 17:30 CET
Participants who have completed their workshop registration before ECR are requested to arrive at the workshop room 20 minutes before the scheduled start of the session to present their badge and complete their check-in.
Workshop description:
In this workshop you can test and evaluate a web-based tool for image quality analysis of thorax CT or abdomen CT images. In this initial version, the quality is assessed in an area surrounding the major fissure of the left lung or in some parts of the abdomen CT images. To work with your own data in this workshop, please prepare the following:
• CT DICOM images of the thorax / lung where the major fissure is visible or CT DICOM images of the abdomen where the psoas muscle is visible.
• [x, y] coordinate of a point on the major fissure in thorax images, i.e. the major fissure should cross these coordinates or [x, y] coordinates of a point on the psoas muscle in abdomen images.
The workshop targets radiologists, radiographers, and medical physicists interested in image quality analysis.
