Yawi3D software provides useful tools for supervised sampling of tumoral masses in CT images.
Yawi3D (Yet Another Wand for ImageJ 3D) is a powerful software project that implements useful tools for supervising tumoral masses in CT images. It features a 3D selection tool plugin for ImageJ, specifically designed for CT scanned images. Yawi3D simplifies the selection of a tumoral region on each slice of a CT analysis and computes the volume of the selected region, providing insight into the course of the illness and an outlook on its alterations.
The software is comprised of two primary components: Yawi2D and Yawi3D. Yawi2D is the fuzzy selection tool (magic wand), which selects ROIs on 2D slices. It is a plugin that utilizes an adaptive algorithm based on the chromatic composition of areas that segments regions with chromatic similarities. This makes it a more powerful implementation of the fuzzy selection tool than ImageJ wand, and it can be applied to a wider spectrum of problems.
Yawi3D, on the other hand, is the software component used to select 3D ROI and is based on Yawi2D. The selection of 3D ROI is a challenging problem as tumoral mass can be a coalescence of different masses, which means that an automatic selection tool has to deal with non-connected ROIs. Yawi3D is yet to be released.
The latest release of Yawi3D includes the following new features: fixed some bugs in the GUI, histogram is drawn with a red gradient to highlight value ranges, it is possible to choose the image format to use when a new image is loaded, support for 8-bit color images, support for big images, when an image is bigger than the screen it is scaled properly and Edit>Settings menu. There are also more checks on image loading for single images and sequences.
Overall, Yawi3D is a highly useful software project that simplifies the selection of tumoral mass in CT images and provides a measure of ROI volume. Its advanced tools make it a great addition to the ImageJ plugin suite.
