Request for Source Code or Alternatives Extension/Plugins Similar to " Colon CAD in 3D Slicer"

I am very interested in the project developed by Xu and colleagues, entitled “An Open-Source Implementation of Colon CAD in 3D Slicer.” The article is available here: https://doi.org/10.1117/12.844370.

I am currently working on my master’s thesis in a related field, focusing on the application of artificial intelligence to CT scans for detecting primary colorectal tumors. However, I have been unable to locate the source code or download the extension from the website referenced in the original article:

http://www2.wfubmc.edu/ctc/download/

Does anyone know where the source code for this 3D Slicer extension can be obtained? Alternatively, are there any similar open-source or free extensions or plug-ins currently available for 3D Slicer that could be used for colon CAD or the detection of colorectal tumors on CT images?

Original article:

Haiyong Xu, H. Donald Gage, and Pete Santago, “An open source implementation of colon CAD in 3D Slicer,” Proceedings of SPIE 7624, Medical Imaging 2010: Computer-Aided Diagnosis, 762421 (9 March 2010).

That paper is over 15 years old. Your best bet is to contact the authors and see if they still have the source, and learn the specific version of Slicer they used to run.
