DoctorEye: A multifunctional open platform for fast annotation and visualization of tumors in medical images.
This paper describes a flexible and easy-to-use annotation platform (GUI) for quick and precise identification and delineation of tumors in medical images. The design of the platform is clinically driven in order to ensure that the clinician can efficiently and intuitively annotate large number of 3D tomographic datasets. Both manual and well-known semiautomatic segmentation techniques are available in the platform allowing clinician to annotate multiple regions of interest at the same session. Additionally, it includes contour drawing, refinement and labeling tools that can effectively assist in the delineation of tumors. Furthermore, segmented tumor regions can be annotated, labeled, deleted, added and redefined. The platform has been tested over several MRI datasets to assess usability, extensibility and robustness with promising results.
