AI Visualization with CT

Given a CSV file containing category names, (x, y) coordinates, and density values, generate a heatmap-based DICOM Image and DICOM Segmentation files for visualization in VolView.

Local Image

Steps:

  1. Data Normalization:
    • Normalize x, y coordinates to the range [0,1].
    • Normalize density values using the formula: df[“z”] = np.log1p(df[“z”] - zmin) / np.log1p(zmax - zmin)
  2. Category-wise Density Accumulation:
    • Generate heatmaps for each category by applying Gaussian smoothing with sigma = 0.025.
  3. Tagging Based on Maximum Density:
    • Assign a Tag to each heatmap coordinate, corresponding to the category with the highest density at that point.
  4. Integrated Heatmap Generation:
    • Use the assigned Tag values to create a single integrated heatmap.
    • Normalize the heatmap values using normalize_heatmap_with_log1.
  5. DICOM Image Creation:
    • Convert the normalized integrated heatmap into a DICOM Image file that can be loaded in VolView.
  6. DICOM Segmentation Generation:
    • Create DICOM Segmentation (DICOM SEG) files for each category, mapping the segmented regions accordingly.

Expected Outputs:

  • DICOM Image file (heatmap.dcm) containing the normalized integrated heatmap.
  • DICOM Segmentation file (segmentation.dcm) containing category-based segmentation maps.
