Meeting Notes
SOFA
-
LapGym Overview: LapGym is an open-source framework designed for Reinforcement Learning (RL) in robot-assisted laparoscopic surgery. More information can be found at the official SOFA Framework website.
-
Paul’s Post-Doc: Paul is set to begin a post-doctoral position at Johns Hopkins, which could lead to further research and collaboration opportunities.
-
Potential Applications: There are potential applications for SlicerHeart in conjunction with SOFA and LapGym, which should be explored further.
NVAPI Integration
- The discussion focused on building NVAPI within the Slicer environment. Relevant resources include the Slicer Discourse thread and the official NVIDIA Developer page.
MorphoDepot
- GitHub Integration: We discussed how to map GitHub operations to the collaborative segmentation process within MorphoDepot. Existing GitHub credentials support, particularly the SlicerWizard’s GithubHelper.py, may be reused for this purpose.
New Icons Proposal
-
Slice Viewer Icon Review: The proposal for new slice viewer icons was reviewed, as detailed in the Slicer Discourse thread. Key points include:
-
Concept Clarification: A clear differentiation between “view” and “volume” was discussed, with the suggestion to consistently represent “view” using the color green.
-
Label Map Visibility: A proposal was made to hide the label map row if no label map is loaded in the scene.
-
Blending Options: To better support the visualization of non-overlapping volumes, making blending optional was suggested.
