Abstract: A graphical workflow definition and management tool enables administrators and other authorized users to implement a workflow process that can be used to evaluate project submissions or other applications that require step-by-step process completion. The steps required to navigate through the workflow are first defined. Inputs, outputs, and actions, including conditional criteria, can be specified for the steps. The flow of control between the individual steps in the workflow is mapped out; changes to the status of a project submission can cause a submission to migrate to a succeeding step in the workflow. A “sandbox” testing environment allows changes to any aspect of the workflow to be safely evaluated without affecting live data. Conflicts between production and test workflows are identified and intelligently resolved.

Abstract: Described herein is a method detecting a plurality of upper respiratory tract sub-regions automatically. Volume of interest (VOI) is identified based on the extraction of certain features, such as regional properties and shape-based features. The complete airway volume from a patient's data is identified by observing the area and eccentricity profiles of the certain volume/organ in the skull. Maxillary sinus area and eccentricity profile in the sagittal view is chosen in the present subject matter for level 1 VOI identification. Once a level 1VOI is identified, the other sub-regions existing in the same VOI are further identified as individual level 2 VOI. Level 3 VOI is extracted based on the shape and geometric features of the organ. The extracted level 3 VOI is considered as the active contour that is followed by the initialized contour for the accurate segmentation of upper airway sub-regions.
