TL;DR: An overview of 3D Slicer is presented as a platform for prototyping, development and evaluation of image analysis tools for clinical research applications and the utility of the platform in the scope of QIN is illustrated.

TL;DR: A standardized evaluation methodology and reference database for the quantitative evaluation of coronary artery centerline extraction algorithms and a database containing 32 cardiac CTA datasets with corresponding reference standard is described and made available.

TL;DR: A fusion scheme that obtained superior results is presented, demonstrating that there is complementary information provided by the different algorithms and there is still room for further improvements in airway segmentation algorithms.

TL;DR: A novel robust active shape model (RASM) matching method is utilized to roughly segment the outline of the lungs through an optimal surface finding approach, which delivered statistically significant better segmentation results, compared to two commercially available lung segmentation approaches.

TL;DR: This work presents a novel approach that allows to simultaneously separate and segment multiple interwoven tubular tree structures and demonstrates its ability to correctly obtain/separate different tree structures, accurately determine the surface of tubular Tree structures, and robustly handle noise, disturbances, and deviations from cylindrical tube shapes.
