Module Description

ChangeTracker is a software tool for quantification of the subtle changes in pathology. The module provides a workflow pipeline that combines user input with the medical data. As a result we provide quantitative volumetric measurements of growth/shrinkage together with the volume rendering of the tumor and color-coded visualization of the tumor growth/shrinkage.

Usage

Examples, Use Cases & Tutorials

• The module has been designed and tested for measuring meningioma development.
• Detecting subtle change in pathology tutorial: slides, data
