I'm not sure about "sharing", but if you were talking
about "buying" I have something that could be whipped into
shape for you pretty easily.
This little application takes an MRI image stack and
allows the user to quickly outline a region of interest
on the image. An active contour then "snugs up" the contour
around the region of interest. The user (or technician
in this case) can then "edit" the fit, as required.
When all is ready, the contour is then applied to the next
image, active contouring is applied, etc. The data inside the
ROI is set aside for further statistical processing, etc.
It was designed to be used by a lab technician in a clinical
setup and seemed to work about as well as expected.
Cheers,
David
