Description

TurtleSeg is an interactive segmentation tool originally designed for 3D medical images. TurtleSeg is developed at the Medical Image Analysis Lab at Simon Fraser University and the Biomedical Signal and Image Computing Laboratory at the University of British Columbia.

Accurate and automatic 3D medical image segmentation remains an elusive goal and manual intervention is often unavoidable. TurtleSeg implements techniques that allow the user to provide intuitive yet minimal interaction for guiding the 3D segmentation process.

A typical workflow involves having the user load a 3D image and then use 2D Livewire to manually contour a sparse number of different slices. The full 3D segmentation can then be built automatically using the user-provided information. TurtleSeg is named after the Turtlemap 3D Livewire algorithm [1] implemented in TurtleSeg for constructing the 3D segmentation. The algorithm employs the concept of a "Turtlemap" in order to automatically produce a dense set of parallel segmentation contours from a sparse set of user provided contours.

NIfTI-1 support

The NIfTI file format is supported by TurtleSeg in a limited fashion. We use ITK 3.16.0's NIfTI file IO functionality.
