Agenda:

* [[Algorithm:ProgressReports|Page for planning progress reports for next year]]
* Update on data access
* Update on plans for programming week

Attendees: Eric Grimson, Tina Kapur, Guido Gerig, Martin Styner, Ross Whitaker, Polina Golland, Allen Tanenbaum, Ron Kikinis, Dave Tuch.

Minutes:

* Discussion on current status at each site.
* UNC: need higher accuracy DTI data, current data is not sufficient. General sense it to try to work with current data, while building algorithms aimed at future data sources.
* General sense of need to coordinate DTI efforts among the Core 1 groups.
* Dave Tuch to coordinate a working meeting between all sites to focus on technical issues on use of data, formats for representation of data, algorithmic issues, etc.
* UNC and MIT: shape algorithms are being assembled into a pipeline that is getting ready for initial release.
* MIT: shape priors being incorporated into ITK/Slicer pipeline for use in segmentation toolkit.
* MGH: working on non-rigid registration methods in close conjunction with Dartmouth group, being driven by requirements of Dartmouth group needs.
* Utah: modules for statistical reasoning on DTI, about to put onto sandbox. Expect to have ready in a few weeks.
* GaTech: coordinating with C-F Westin on DTI, measuring anisotropic features. About to transfer to ITK shortly. Some shape work underway, also working on rule-based segmentation with Jim Fallon. Will incorporate into Slicer as part of programming week.
* MIT: measurement tools for DTI inside Slicer, shape-based segmentation about to go into Slicer.
