Project Description

It could be useful for Desktop applications such as 3D slicer or MITK to run within a browser, for this a containerization of the application is necessary. Also it could be useful for Desktop applications to communicate with third-party endpoints to, for examples, run a model on images to get a segmentation. In this project, we focus on solution to containerize desktop applications and on communicating with third-party tools

Objective

1. Desktop apps in containers (Slicer, MITK, OHIF, …), Improved Slicer integration
2. Desktop interaction with Kaapana (Slicer, MITK, ITK-SNAP …)

Relate to:

• Kaapana overall
• SlicerCloud
• OHIFSlicerBridge

Approach and Plan

1. Look at the current state of Slicer and MITK integration in Kaapana (container and client/server interaction)
2. Finish/adapt integration.
3. Improve desktop (running in a browser) streaming solutions - (noVNC, guacamole…) in the Kaapana kubernetes cluster.
4. Create documented API for an interaction Kaapana with destop clients

Progress and Next Steps

1. Integrated Slicer extension
2. Startet workflow “Slicer-flow”
3. Created uniform Kaapana RestApi for dicomweb
