schestowitzI've managed to get all the DICOM data under control, with scripts/functions that organise the data and metadata, making it available for analysis and deformation, if necessary. It's not yet clear, however, what method/s to apply to it. I am working on a research proposal.Nov 04 16:24

schestowitzSend my best regards to Anita, please. I am sure the surgery will be a success and Anita is a strong lady, so am not shocked to hear that she was mentally ready for it. I met a radiologist on Tuesday for some discussion about work that I do on the heart. I would love to have a chat with Anita about it next time I'm in Florida.Nov 04 19:32
