Objective
Implement tract-based morphometry pipeline in 3D Slicer, including atlas-based WM (white matter) segmentation and whole-brain WM coordinate system generation. Investigate integration of FMRI+DTI into atlas pipeline, for neurosurgical planning applications.
Approach, Plan
The original pipeline consists of (over a group):
- preprocessing
- DTI and FA image calculation
- congealing registration of FA images
- whole-brain tract seeding
- application of registration to tractography
- automatic segmentation
- atlas-based segmentation of tractography
- OR atlas generation
- clustering of (sample from) whole-brain tractography in group
- expert labeling of clusters to give anatomical structures
- the above produces an atlas that can be used to segment
- analysis
- optimal generation of tract-based coordinate systems per anatomical structure
- export of cluster/structure based measurements (FA, etc)
- some statistical analysis
The eventual goal is re-implementation of much of the above in the Slicer3 framework. This will enable use of the pipeline for neuroscience research and our future investigation of DTI+fMRI atlases for neurosurgery.
Progress
- Preprocessing
- work has begun on BatchMake modules for tensor calc and FA calculation in the group
- some investigation of using congealing implementation in ITK from NAMIC SandBox to replace our current use of original code by Lilla Zollei
