Shape analysis has become of increasing interest to the medical community due to its potential to precisely locate morphological changes between healthy and pathological structures. SPHARM-PDM is a tool that computes point-based models using a parametric boundary description for the computing of Shape analysis.

Shape analysis has become of increasing interest to the medical community due to its potential to precisely locate morphological changes between healthy and pathological structures. SPHARM-PDM is a tool that computes point-based models using a parametric boundary description for the computing of Shape analysis.

The point-based models computed with the SPHARM-PDM tool can be used in combination with the also UNC designed statistical tool shapeAnalysisMANCOVA to perform quantitative morphological assessment of structural changes at specific locations.

SPHARM-PDM is now available as a 3D Slicer extension (http://www.slicer.org) and as a SlicerSALT module (https://salt.slicer.org/)

Prerequisites

On 3D Slicer and SlicerSALT, Shape Analysis Module uses:

• Shape Population Viewer extension which displays the outputs generated by Shape Analysis Module.
  • To install Shape Population Viewer on 3D Slicer, follow these instructions:
    1. Download Shape Population Viewer executable on NITRC
    2. In 3D Slicer, add the folder where Shape Population Viewer executable is stored at Edit/Application Settings/Modules/Add (https://www.slicer.org/wiki/File:ModulesSettings.png)
    3. Restart 3D Slicer
• Mesh To Label Map, which will be downloaded automatically with Shape Analysis Module (https://www.slicer.org/wiki/Documentation/Nightly/Extensions/MeshToLabelMap)
