ABL Temporal Bone Segmentation Module
Developed by HML & SKA Auditory Medical Biophysics Lab at Western University, London, ON, CA
This 3D Slicer module handles spacing resampling, fiducial registration, rigid registration, and inference of the major structures of CT temporal bone scans. Inference is done using ABL's Temporal Bone Segmentation Network.
Also included is a module for batch registration of temporal bone scans.
This module requires the SlicerElastix module to be installed in 3D Slicer.
This module also requires either a functional ABLInfer Server or a local Docker instance. Specific system requirements for running the network may be found on the Temporal Bone Segmentation Network page.
- Load the CT scan into 3D Slicer and navigate to the "ABL Temporal Bone Segmentation Module"
- If desired, the
CBCTDentalSurgerysample data set should provide enough of a scan to work with
- If desired, the
- Choose the volume to segment and which side of the head the scan is of
- Align and register the image using fiducial selection; select at least three points and locate them on your CT scan
- Run automated rigid registration
- Finalize the transformation and choose the region of interest (ROI) before segmentation
- Run the inference, either on a remote ABLInfer server or using a local Docker instance
- Display and manipulate the result
