ADC Calculations Joshua Kim
I. Objective and Goals II. Current ADC Results III. Current Progress on MatLab Program Outline
Objective and Goals Objective › To calculate ADC values for all patients Goals › To study the pixel intensity variations with translation. › To calculate the combined effects of image statistical error with contour placement uncertainty. › To create a MatLab GUI program that can make the ADC analysis faster.
Current ADC Results (Meyers)
b = 0 b = 520 b = 850
MatLab Program Problem: › Some lesions are very difficult to contour › Would like to study lesion pixel variation with translation. › Also: Want good organization of data and fast analysis
MatLab: › User defined contours for b=0, 520 and 850. › Record coordinates (indices) of contour › Shift in 8 different directions by N pixels › Create ADC value plots as function of shift to study the pixel variations › Conclude effect of transcription uncertainty MatLab Program b = 0b = 520b = 850
Future Work Complete transcription error component of MatLab Write code for organizing data Complete ADC calculations for all patients
