1) identify tumor boundaries,
2) isolate proliferating cells, and
3) segment the tumor into regions based on the density of proliferating cells. We then reconstruct the 3D shape of the tumor using a constrained deformable surface approach.

| This project is a collaboration with Massachusetts General Hospital. Here we explore how a multidisciplinary approach, combining modern visualization and image processing techniques with experimental studies can augment the understanding of tumor development. We designed a method to analyze histological slices of a microscopic brain tumor and reconstruct these slices into a 3D representation. We process these slices to:
1) identify tumor boundaries, 2) isolate proliferating cells, and 3) segment the tumor into regions based on the density of proliferating cells. We then reconstruct the 3D shape of the tumor using a constrained deformable surface approach. |
