<h3>Objective</h3>
* The primary objective is for the Utah team to coordinate with UCLA regarding the release of a Slicer module to perform multimodal automatic segmentation of TBI using the methodologies developed by the Utah team. 
* One planned topic of interest includes a progress update to the UCLA group on the current status of the matlab/C++/VTK translation of the Utah algorithm
* We intend to spend some time on testing the method as well as on getting feedback on the best way to integrate the algorithm within Slicer
* It would also be useful to demonstrate how the algorithm performs on the UCLA data which have already been made available to the Utah team

<h3>Approach, Plan</h3>
* Bo and Marcel will be working together on the C++ implementation of the algorithm. 
* Test and debug the preliminary C++ code. 
* Try to build the command-line module. 
* Discuss with our collaborators from UCLA about their requirements.
